When the headlights are turned on, I only see the one bar lit on each rear light. Is this correct? I never really looked before :)

that's correct.
the layout of your rear lights are:
top (red) = brake middle (amber) = turn middle (red) = tail bottom (red) = nothing (used for rear fog on Euro models but unused on US models) bottom (white) = reverse
Thank you Matt for the quick reply! Happy holidays to you!
WO
No prob!
And that dead space for the Euro-spec rear fog...it's a very easy task to convert that to something lese like an extra brake light or something. Wiring the rear fog is a little harder (but far from impossible).
You too!
I did that exact thing, I have the rear fog jumpered to the brake, so I have two brake lights on each side. I think the extra brightness helps in the summer storms down here in Florida.
