I do know that I have lost my brake lights and still had taillights,
and vice versa. Why the system on the '67 would be considered unsafe
and not the system on the '68, I don't know. Personally, that's one of
the things about the 67s I prefer-- the way the whole side lights up.
Aesthetically, I think it's nicer than the '68.
Brake and tail lights are generally on seperately fused circuits, therefore there should be no way one will cause loss of the other. I assume the govt was stepping in in 68 to disallow the use of three bulbs working as brake or turn signals.
