Default Rear lights

Are Ap2 rear lights the only ones with the red ring when the lights are on, or do some Ap1's also have the red ring instead of the red circle? I tried doing a search but I couldn't find many night shots with rear lights on of ap1s. (and I'm on my sisters mac and many weird things are happening on this computer..)

Those are the normal AP1 tails, the outer ring is simply the reflector piece of the tailight which is reflecting the flash from the camera.

(unless, of course, he has the aforementioned mod which gives an LED ring around the normal AP1 break light)

dug up the video i mentioned above, actually not a circle but still a cool cheap led option, rather than swapping over to an ap2 set...
