    Depo Tail Light Bleed Through

    I have a set of the Depo facelift looking tail lights on my car.

    The light from the middle, red tail light portion bleeds through to the bottom of the clear signal light portion?

    I know not to expect too much from these lights but is this normal?

    Thanks

    Not really normal. If you just bought them, contact the vendor and return them.

    If they came with the car, replace them with factory lights.

    Because DEPO.... Asking a question like that causes me to assume that you were breastfed through a straw.

    That's what I figured. Probably got an extra bad set of lights.

    Thanks
