Those fortunate few of us who enjoy owning the beautiful 67s get to enjoy
all 6 rear main bulbs functioning as tail AND stop lights, bringing a
dazzling red glow to the neighborhood areas which are fortunate to be able
to admire the beautiful 1967 rear ends.
Mark,
Dick has a point. Another line of attack to correct your problem would be to get two bulb sockets with a bit of wiring from a junkyard and convert your taillight only sockets to signal/brake/taillight sockets. All would use 1157s and so you would eliminate the bright/dim problem while fixing something the govt made Chrysler compromise on in 1968. As you know, I am a stickler for original, but I did this on the 68 conv I had and would not hesitate to do it on any subsequent 68's I own.
