Red inner tail light question
Maybe i'm not searching the right key word cause i couldn't find what i was looking for, so here goes....
I have the 01+ outer tails in my 98 GS and now the inner tails look pinkish. So are the 01+ inner tails more red than the older ones. Or is it because mine are older and just faded. I want to match the color a little better and wasn't sure if i was wasting my time getting 01+ inner tails to help this mix-matched problem.
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

inner tails
well....when the tails are not illuminated, they look fine. It's when you press the brakes that the inner tails look pinkish. And i mean, there is a major difference.

Damn!!! I have been looking for "newer" inner tails FOREVER! If any1 just bought a complete new set of LED tails and want to off-load your inners please PM me ASAP!
I am going to take a compounding wheel to these inners and see if I can bring these back to life...that's all they might need. If the plastic lens itself is red in color then I will just "remove" a very fine layer of the weathered lens; then buff like crazy. We'll see what happens, maybe I can save some bucks!

just change your bulbs too Red LED type. cheaper than new tails http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm
I don't want LED tails or LED looking tails...it's not my thing. I just want my inner stock tails to burn more red using the conventional bulb so it would match the stock '01 outer tails that I have.
