Due to heat accumulated by extended brake light (E) usage, the red inner cap(A) is melted (B) and the
inner (C) and/or outer (D) lens becomes hazy.
Customers having this concern should have both rear combination lights replaced with modified ones(red
inner cap (A) is eliminated and red inner lens (B) is used).
