The CQ does. The Euro equivalent has the slot for the sidemarker 
bulb molded into the housing, but it's not punched out, and 
there's no bulb holder in there anyway.

I've got the Euro rears for my CQ. I was hoping they'd be 
similar to the V8 design where it's a clear lens with a red 
grid behind it, and a yellow bulb that shines through. Instead, 
these are amber lenses with a white bulb, and lots of opaque 
red stripes. It still looks mostly red from a distance, and the 
orange flash is _much_ more noticeable, especially in bright 
daylight.
