EK9 brakelights

My car is an import so should have both parts of the rear lights light up, but it looks like they have been modified so one is a fog light.

I want to wire them back up so both parts light up again but i just need to know do both parts light up on braking aswell or does just the top part light up when braking?

anyone know?

UKDM only the top ones light up and the bottom only as fogs but in japan as they dont have fogs son when u turn your lights on both parts light up, but i want to know if in true JDM cars both parts light up under braking or just the top part

only the tops light up, the other lights are just single filament bulbs, if you tried to put a duel filament in them, they'd pop.
