Default Useless part on the TYC tail light?

For everyone that seen and have TYC tail lights, please tell what the middle 2 stripes that runs across the tail light is for?

Is there ANY function to the 2 middle red stripes on the tail lights?

I hope TYC is not that cheap and place it there to make up for the space and skimp on adding a few more LEDs!!

Please help.

All cars have reflectors, either in the tail lights or the bumper.

One reflector inside the circle, and the other on the outer end on the tail. all cars have to have reflectors that can be seen form the rear and side.

The two reflector strips have an led at the end of it and will light up when you put on the parking lights/headlights. You can see it from the side of the car when its on.
