sand them down completely to remove the colour off the plastic???? I have never heard of this technique before bro.. but whyyyy clear... suppose its your own taste, but in my opinion tint them :p

its a common problem of lots of commies (if u notice that sort of thing) lots of em got faded tail lights, usually just one of them. tint them with niteshade!! didnt someone write a DIY for bleaching tail lights for gen2 teg with degreaser?

The reason is that they by the aftermarket copy ones when they break one. The Taiwanese crap fades like buggery
