Taillight lens fix

I didn’t like the light leaking into the reverse light part of the lens. I put some aluminum tape on the divider piece and stopped most of the light. Easy peezy.

Are those replacement lenses, or originals? While I’ve seen that type of problem before, I don’t remember my original lenses ever having that issue.

not sure. but if the divider is red plastic i don't see how the light wouldn't go thru. i forgot to take a before pic to show the difference. was not like it looked like reverse light was on or anything. this just crisps up the lower line.

Yeah, and I also prefer when no light bleeds over into the next lens, no matter what the application.
So it’s a good fix. I’ll have to check mine out the next time I get a chance to see if it’s just the regular translucent plastic, if there was a darker band at that point, or if I just wasn’t paying attention to it enough.
