If you put amber bulbs there--you'd have amber colored brake light. Red Bulbs. These are original lens. Could they be some kind of "mistake" or fluke made by mistake?

Light bulb behind the reflector will still shine through as red from the outside. Maybe a little scrubbing and flipping them over will show some better detail.

NEVER I DID EITHER, AND I LIVE IN A TROPICAL COUNTRY... Venezuela. BUT lense is one piece except the back up clear what is inserted and glued. There is no way to make two tones lense in one piece. Onece again. I dunno how, but is FADED. You can notice also the faded area on louvers slots areas what are the only ones exposed throught the bezel beside the squared ones.
