Default Inner Taillight's Worn out?

Why does our GS's inner taillight looks worn out? like ones brighter then the other.

Mine are different colors as well. I just assumed that it had two different bulbs.

It's just a common problem with fading due to repeated abuse from the elements. It's just a 2GS thing. Have you noticed on older Camrys 94-97? that they all have issues with the paint fading-- especially on the hood?

If you need some fresh inners, I have a set for sale. PM me.

If it is light that looks different change the bulbs. Sounds simple but makes a difference especially when in use. If the plastic is what you are talking about it is a common OEM issue. Replace them or upgrade only true solution.

if you don't want to buy new ones. tint them with a red film and tint the outers to match, you'll be good to go.

Mine are fading to. I wonder if there is a cover for the inner light.

I wonder if anybody else made one other than junction produce.
