89' 240 - break lights look orange

Post by Science »

Hi,

My tail light assembly usually needs attention once a year around this time. However, a day after I gave it
attention my neighbor told me my break lights look orange and not Red.... i tool a look and yes they do not seem to be
"Red" like I "thought" they were...... going for new bulbs all same manufacturer for starters ....

Thx, I was thinking that as well, as in I just need new plastic. My neighbor mentioned "wiring perhaps" as if he knew some thing. i will get some replacement plastic soon.

The only problem "wiring perhaps" may cause is no light at all if there is a break in it.

You could try fitting red bulbs!
