The government made them kill the third brake/turn bulbs for '68? Why?

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.
