Default A comment abour the B6 tail lights... (m)

I was driving behind my B6 last night (wife was behind the wheel of the Audi) and I noticed the tail lights have a pink-ish hue to them. They are not as red as you might think. It looked a little fem to me.

But the worst part is that the 3rd brake light (behind the rear window) is very very RED. It appears to be an LED-style light (much like G35 coupe's tail lights). Anyway, this third brake light doesn't match the pink-ish tail lights at all. It looks strange to me.

Anybody else notice this?

Default You can put red covers over the bulbs if you want them deep red.

Or get some red bulbs...

Is it the bulbs that make 'em look pink or the lense covers?

Default The stock bulbs emit 'white' light so the cause is the lens cover. If you filter out all colors

except red at the bulb, with the use of a bulb cover or red painted bulbs, the overall color will be a deeper shade of red.
