This is beating a dead horse, but now I have to echo Chris's question: why? If it was not to insure that there would always be a working taillight, what was the reason? Why are 3 lights working as a brake light unsafe, but 2 are not?
If I'm not mistaken, if one bulb goes bad in a chain, then that "kills" the lights in that chain. If you had 3 lights working as a brake light on the L, and 3 on the R, then that would mean 6 bulbs in the chain-- 2 more chances at bulb failure, possibly resulting in no brake lights??? I'm just trying to figure this out now that you've got me curious.

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.
