Hi Guys,
Its pretty much possible that the Brake lamp isn't clear lens & the rest are Clear. The only explanation I can come up for that being, Brake lamp lights being the Only Red Colored (Accent Viva having the same panel for Brake & Tail Lamp, both bulbs in the same cluster) panel, it isn't clear because the Reflectors are built into the same. We cannot have Red Reflectors on a Clear Lens Panel.

I'm sure Hyndai wouldn't want to redesign the Panel to have only the Reflectors & no lamps embedded into the same, would be a waste of space.

What say? Do you all buy that??
