    Did a search and found nothing. My taillights are faded and appear orange when used. Is there any way to restore the redness?

    You can spray a red candy over them to get them back into shape

    I assume you mean glass. They sell a glass paint, or wash, at craft stores. They use it for a stained glass effect. May work on the inside.

    I've done this on plastic and glass lens in the past.... Works a treat.

    If you use a red candy make sure you then coat them with a clear that has UV protection or they will fade quickly
