You need to identify if there is a light source specified in the render for the
brick. If not, you can either figure out how to insert one yourself at the appropriate
spot, or wait for the developers to add one in for you.
The renderer will only be concerned with the characteristics of the light source,
and have properly set characteristics that will render the effects of the light
passing through the transparent brick part(s), and you should program the information
in the renderer to reflect what a real one should look like.
Perhaps the rendering software handling this brick lighted already has this information
included with it. You would simply have to ensure that the lighting characteristics
for the element are set to display in whatever renderer you are using.
I tried 3D rendering software and usually there is a category specifically devoted
to light source object types. Keep looking for information as it is out there,
hopefully you will figure out it someday!
 
Cheers ...

Hi,
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to do that in Studio 
One solution would be to use the special light-emitting colours… and maybe a
custom part (as the ‘official’ part has its colours fixed).
Also, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
