Default side reflector fading

i have a MY2001 and my driver's side rear tail light reflector is almost completely faded out.. i tried to get the recall service done at honda but they said my car wasnt qualified for the fix because it didnt fall within a certain range of vin#'s.
so is there any other way to restore the color without having to buy a new tail light? i read somewhere that you can buy paint for it from honda. thanks for any info

i never had that problem, maybe due to lack of sunny days...? do u have an early my01? or have your tail lights been replaced at some point in time?
looks like a good reason to get AP2 tail lights

AP1s= no orange and not so busy.

Since it was considered a safety issue leading Honda to do the recall, I would expect the dealer should respectfully handle your taillights for you.
