Strange that you had no illumination - that socket is powered. Yes, you can do it - typically you just need to drill out the opening in the back of the taillight big enough to accept a bulb, put the bulb in the socket, and you're done. Search "dual rear fog mod" for more in-depth info.

IIRC, some bulb holders require that you jump a connection to get power to the socket. The site search here is notoriously bad, try using google with "site:www.audiforums.com"
