    This is very common with all VS models - VR did not fade despite being identical is size/shape/colour...maybe the manufacturer changed. Anyway, they are easily fixed either by painting with red glass paint or spraying with red lens dye from Autobarn or Supercheap.

    Exactly.

    I know its not right, but i don't mind the faded reflectors on my VR. (I put in VS calais lights) It matches up pretty good with between the indicator and reverse lights.

    Yeah, you find a lot of reflectors in the calais style lights were clear from factory, and not from fading.

    Its a shame its not legal, cos they look awesome with clear reflectors instead of red
