Need help matching rear lamp lens
Purchased the aftermarket uro lamp lens for my back right rear reflector but it does not match the shade of red on my left reflector which is lighter. I opted for the uro first due to being a third of the oem price. Does anyone know if either the oem lamp lens or the genuine Porsche lamp lens would match? Just need something that is a bit lighter in shade. Hoping for a member who has had experience with these parts to chime in. Thanks. Car is a 3.2 carrera

what is a uro lamp lens?
Keep in mind color does fade over time.

Just the brand of part
Tail Lamp Lens (Black Trim, Right) Brand: Uro Parts Part #: 911-631-952-00-M253 Maybe that's it, the originals faded but IMO they actually look better that way, at least on my car |

I literally just purchased a set of URO lenses and love them. They are a tad darker than my center lens but I do believe that's fade. Considering the price of the URO lenses comparatively, I would suggest buying the other side to match.

Thanks for the update and photos PDKLOL, your car definitely looks amazing! Here's a short lens comparison video (aftermarket vs Bosch vs URO):
• The clear spot on the aftermarket lens is where we rubbed off the dye. • The little dark spots around the perimeter of the Bosch lens is where the factory injected the colored plastic. Last edited by UROParts; 10-05-2018 at 03:45 PM.. |

I bought the URO tail lamp lens (European). I thought the quality and fitment was great especially for the price point. I did both at once to avoid differences due to fade.

Yep, You always have to buy a pair. They bound to get a bit faded with 30 something years of sun hitting them.
