I also didn't like how the side of the outer tail light and the inner most section of the trunk light don't light up, so on my 99 I installed some 194/168 socket/bulbs to make the whole rear lamp assembly light up. I was going to try this on my 02 but because of the design change, there is no space for the small bulbs and i would need to used LED's, so I left that alone. I'm not going to hijack this thread, listing my mods, but heres a few pics.

Nope, there aren't any small bulbs in the side of the stock tail light. The way the light wraps around the side of the car, you don't need one because the dual filament bulb in the outter lamp serves as a tail light/side marker light and brake light. Here's a pic of stock before I modified my 99.
