Does anyone know if there are night time textures are for ships? If there aren't the game itself might be darkening the daytime textures in the engine itself. If that is the case we won't be able to make the textures bright enough to get the effect we want.

There are no night textures for ships. Although overlayed textured are implemented for Harbor objects, this mechanism may not necessarily work for ships. As I understand in order to try applying it for ships one needs to re-do UV-mapping for 3D models and even then it may not work because of possible specificity of this feature only for Harbor object in the SH3 engine.
As to port and starboard lights, the way I designed this mod will require actual changes in 3D models of each stock ship. Quite some work.
