it's 1157 bulbs so there is 2 filaments.. and all the red part is lighting at night..if not change your bulbs to new one and it's gonna work...it's not just the reflector who light at night...

i use a selection of bulbs from http://www.autolumination.com

Image
License plate is a Matrix 5 Angle LED 194 bulb x2
Taillight is SMT Tower 30LED Red 3157 bulb x2

Image
Turn signal is SMT Tower 30LED White 3157 bulbx2

Keep in mind, white rear signals are Illegal for use in the state of cali ( not sure bout other states make sure you check if youre worried about it )

Also, LED bulbs will make your car think the bulb is out. If you have the bulb warning light in your dash it will be set off ( i pulled my bulb for that warning light )

And because the car thinks the bulb for the signal is broken, it will blink abnormally fast.

well I don't hate how the tail light looks at night, you sure you weren't looking at a Miata?
