Semi-old cars today have worn out taillight covers (because in the 90's the plastic over the taillights wasn't thick enough), which slightly brightens the lights. Over time, they do turn orange or even white from time to time.
Hope that answers your question.

That's considered "wearing out," isn't it?

Maybe its the sunlight reflecting off the taillight? i don't know if this is true...another possibility is that the light calibration wasn't correct? well i don't know, the chrome taillight always and will always look better that the normal taillight, not only that but it doesn't fade out either!

I think it is more to do with the age of the car - the best example that comes to mind is the brake lights on the R32 Skylines (and the rear running lights too) showing up orangey, whereas the (newer) R33 and R34 Skylines are more red. Although that may have been the design of the cars, as it is very distinct, and I've noticed it in real life too.
But, the game definitely does have several different shades of brake and running lights, it's not a trick of the light or your TV.
White lights are for the front of your car.

Ships and trains both used red warning signals long before there were automobiles.
Red is the first color your eye determines; since it has the longest visible wavelength, you interpret the color red quicker than any other color. Psychologically, we have a slight "fear" of red because it denotes blood, a natural color; by extension, this means danger and a warning.

Ah, so this must mean the R33 GT-R is meant to be more scary than the R32 GT-R...

How come, in that case, that the R32 GTS-t sweeps the floor even with the R33 and its faded pinkish lights? Oh, wait...Ah, so this must mean the R33 GT-R is meant to be more scary than the R32 GT-R...

Oh, I knew you'd be baited by that, why didn't I come up with a better case...
