Default Tail Light Lens Oddity or ??

Gents,

Curious to know if anyone has seen a light lens with a white panel in front of the red lens like mine. The PO was unable to explain saying only that it arrived this way from a supplier.

Not liking it much but given the cost of these lens sets, I'm living with it!

Never seen anything like that. Is there a lamp behind the lens, or is it just a reflector? The cover might just be tape to prevent the plastic from getting scratched while in transit (as opposed to on Volvo).

Yes, there is a lamp back there and there appears to be a red lens over that, but the outer plastic has this white translucent look.

Given the cost of replacement tail lenses, I'm inclined to leave this as is for now; just curious as to whether others have seen it. Some things end up growing on you as time goes on!!
