Altezza red/pink

Post by xSocialx »

Ok so my passenger side tail lights glows pinkish but the drivers side looks alright. I'm thinking maybe the paint around the reflective lenses are fading maybe?

Maybe your eyes need to be checked?

Different color bulbs on one side?

Pics?

I'm going to say that you probably have different colors of bulbs on each side. Easiest way to check is to pop the light housings off, take the bulbs out and look at them. If they are infact the same color on both sides, then it could be that the reflective material has water/solar damage or wear and tear of some kind.
