The NSS OctoSats parts default to be shiny and reflective with the following patch: (is it outdated?)

The VAB part icons are also relatively dark, but not as dark as in R&D.

If the issue is only with the icons, it likely means that whatever shaders those parts are using need to have their icon-shader patched appropriately.

TU maintains a list of source and icon shaders that it updates/replaces when incompatible icon shaders are found on a part. Likely something like this -- https://github.com/shadowmage45/TexturesUnlimited/blob/master/GameData/000_TexturesUnlimited/Shaders/TUShaders.cfg#L138-L143 needs to be specified for the shaders in question (if it has not already been fixed).
