Inner Tail lights Fade
Hey all,
I have a 99 gs300 and ever since I got the car I have noticed that my inner tail lights are either fading or are different colors. It hasn't really bothered me until recently. I also have them tinted with vinyl 20%, but they were even faded before i put the tints on.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what are some solutions? Perhaps changing the tail light bulb.. Please help.

Dont use the daytime running lights, keep away form the auto light feature..also less exposure to the rear from the sun will help.. Meaning dont let your car sit if the sun is hitting the rear of the car. Turn it around ..

So I did some experimenting today and it actually worked out pretty well. I went to a local auto store and bought red tailight repair tape for $3. Since my inner tails are tinted, i obviously couldnt tape the outside cover. So what I did was tape the light bulb. I turned on the lights and the inners matched better then i expected. I don't think the tape will burn around the bulb, bc its made for the cover which becomes hot itself. This saved me about $150.

^^ What he said...take that tape off man, no matter what you do that stuff is gonna melt. You could always use red clear paint, or a red sharpie if you really wanted to make the bulbs red. Mines were pink since the day i bought my car, just save up and get some nice LED tails!

Maybe he already died? I hope not! If you can read this, remove that tape! Have you ever tried touching a bulb? Yeah, burns, doesn't it? It will do the same thing to the tape.!
