I did check and confirm that the upper part of the light is all that lights
up. It has a 194 bulb in it and it also flashes on and off opposite the
front turn signal. It is designed in such a way that it doesn't seem easy
to mod it for full illumination. The bottom is mostly flat while the top
has extra room to mount the lamp.

I found some pictures of what I was looking for with the tail lights. From
the looks of it, the yellow is for turn signals and then for rear fog
lights, there is a single auxillary red light mounted to the top of the
bumper under the right side tail light. Maybe it's just a UK thing, but I
swear I saw the yellows both lit steady on the Jurassic Park Jeep. Maybe
what I saw was a New Zealand or Australia thing since I belive the movie was
filmed there.
