Replacement parts

Note

•  Fogging or condensation on the inside of the rear combination lights may occur because of a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the rear combination lights. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the phenomenon is resolved when the temperature inside the rear combination light rises after the rear turn light is turned on or a period of time has elapsed.
