RJ-1786-0

For the rear combination lights, the red lenses for the lights that serve both as taillights and brake lights do not have sufficient weatherability, and therefore, the red colour of the lenses may gradually fade from long exposure to the strong sunlight. If this occurs, the colour of the lenses may not comply with the safety standard.
