When I did my 66 I went with the reverse light in the middle. I LIKE having backup lights, and find the center position aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

My '66 has had six, all red tailights since the day I purchased it in '68 and i have always thought it makes the back end of the car look more balanced, more complete. Except for the tail lights she's a very original car.

With 3 lights, you have several choices, all 3 the same or two outer brake and tail only with center turn to name two possibilities. Add a backup light to the mix and there's more combos.

As Ol Blue stated, just lightly rest your foot on the brake pedal and those six lights give you a lot of back up light.

I wouldn't change 4 lights to 6 on my '67 but I think 6 lights (4 red and 2 backup) would have looked better on '67s than the way they handled the backup lights on that model.

As for light combinations, I think I'm going to go for all 6 as brake, turn and tail. Now that I've seen a couple with inner backup lights, I like all 6 red better. If I still want backup lights later, I'll tuck a couple of small rectangular ones out of sight under the bumpers.
Thanks again for all the ideas and pictures.
