Taillight vs. Reflector red color - is yours the same shade of red?
 

I put my reflector back on the car the other day and immediately noticed how much darker of a red my euro taillights (red section obviously) are in contrast to the reflector (both stock items). Is this normal? I am going to dig out my US lights tonight to see how they compare...

just looked through the "butt" thread some and seems like this may be a common occurrence...

My black letter reflector bit the dust. I replaced with the hologram version and it is noticably lighter that my taillight lenses (US). Don't like it as much, but better than no reflector.
