O3 is ok in the dark if you have light sources nearby but otherwise you can't see jack shiggedy without your own lights. I added two bright leds right where headlights would be so they spill some light around a good front radius toward the ground while the flashlight helps me see where I'm looking. Can definitely see much better at night but having a flashlight right next to the camera makes it hard to see in the fog. It also reflects light off the mirror so it's not really usable when the lights are on. Better arrangement would be putting the flashlight lower in the front and turning it with a separate servo on a separate channel that moves the same time the camera servo does.
I also kind of needed to run this thing for a while since the temp went up to over 50 degrees, cause all the testing I did before was when it was below freezing.
