Default Different colored TA tails? WTF?

I bought a replacement tailight b.c mine got cracked in a fender bender. The one I recieved is significantly darker than the other ones that I have. Why is this?
To a non car person you wouldnt be able to tell....but I SURE as hell can tell and it kinda gets to me. I dont want to buy a new set of tails but it looks like I may have to.

a good wetsanding of both of them would probably even them out pretty well but I'm not positive

sometimes they start to get black if moisture gets in there.
