anyone's side lenses fading from red to clear? i live in texas, where sun is bright and my tail lights are fading yery quickly. soon it will become a safety issue when the taillights are confused with reverse lights at night. dealer says, 'i've never seen this before... ' but is unwilling to replace for free, due to the fact that it is out of warrantee. i need to find out how to lodge a complaint, so we can get a service bulletin.

help!

 

i've seen it happen to other people's cars, but not as bad as becoming clear.
i know people have had them replaced, and i would want mine replaced too if they became clear. i'm sure you can get a couple people to complain about it.
good luck =]

 

Mine are orange now, instead of red. I hardly ever park in the sun...except 2-4 months at a time when the car is at the dealership.

 

WOW, I've never heard of this before!!

Can you guys please post pictures???????????????

I'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN!

i saw it on a red s2k at nite once.. the rear sidemarker.. it was really faded.. i dont get why that would happen though! stupid honda, RECALL!

 

you kidding me right?? this better not happen on all of the cars, stupid window is already bad enough.

 

Yep, it has happened to both of my taillights. the very center is nearly clear and it fades to red within a couple of inches. Will bring it up when I got in for 30k/warranty/elective stuff next week sometime. I better get new tailights. I don't think that it's due to sunlight since the actual brake lights are fine.
