Fixing Govt mandated 68 bulb problems: was bulbs for '68 taillights

[d_barker@xxxxxxxx]

Actually, being a bit of a '67 bigot, I liked Dick's point about the 
betterlooking 67 rear ends! :-)) Anyway, what I wanted to says was, does 
anybody have a copy of that email I sent out a while back with lists of light 
bulbs and replacements? I'm unable to get to my offline email folders where I 
am right now otherwise I would resend it. I'm not sure, but there may be some 
good info in there for people who weren't here to get that when I originally 
sent it. I don't recall what all was on it, but it seemed like there was a 
whole mess of old bulbs and their replacements. Maybe someone could resend it 
for the benefit of the newer folks? If it pertains?

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.
