no, they are actually called rear foglights, they are red also with a reflector. They are designed mainly for autobahn driving. where its some type of law that in foggy conditions you must put them on, or at least the drivers side i think it is. The lights on are equal to the brightness of brake lights, that way cars coming up fast behind you kniow where your drivers side is. You may have seen some mercedes, bmws or audis driving around with just one random taillight much brighter than the parking lights and is unaffected by the brake lights, well thats the rear fiog lighst being on. The bumper also has a wider space for the longer european plates and the rear red side body markers are non-existant. I believe I am maybe the only car in the US with this bumper/taillight setup. heres a pic of my car with the rear bumper(all genuine GM export parts, taillights used, bumper and foglights brand new)(bumper is not fully bolted on yet either)
