need help guys. is there any way to differentiate between the pre-recall tail lights with the fading side reflectors to those without the defect?
i looked at my tail lights and looked for something like "33551-S2A-A01" which is the part number for '00 and '01 tails but no luck.
reason i ask is because i need to replace my tail light with the faded reflector and sourced a replacement off a MY00. but i want to make sure this one wont fade on me as well. thanks

 

33501-S2A-A01, 33551-S2A-A01 Is what I found (:

 

where did you find it? i took it off the car and still couldnt find it
and thats off a post-recall light right?

 

Check your Vin # with the dealer to see if they did the recall or if your vehicle was included in the recall.

 

^already did. my vin wasnt included in the recall

 

I don't know if the part number changed, and I don't think you'll find the actual number on the part, but here's a link to the bulletin issued out if it may help.

thanks guys. i think im just gonna buy it because if it hasnt faded in 10 years it probaby doesnt have the defect.
