3rd brake light...well actually 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th 
I replaced both relay cans with solid state relays.

I think the 69 and 70 are different as to how many lamps do what. There has been discussion here somewhere. Ross knows .)FergO2k wrote: Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:38 am Cool! So question (and this may be something 68 specific that I didn't know),
are the tops now running + brake, and the bottoms just running lites?
I am trying to find the quirks in my 69 set-up, and am thinking a re-wiring / re-thinking and some LED's may be in the plan real soon.
Studies have shown that brake lights up high (such as the 3rd) significantly reduce rear enders. Anything to avoid rear enders is a plus imo.

Dan did you add a cancel relay?greydog wrote: Tue Jan 22, 2019 11:00 am Fergus-from memory (not very reliable), my '68 has running lights on both. The turn signals blink on the top and brake lights on the bottom. It looks like Pebbles swapped the light sockets.
On our '69, the tail lights all function as one. That is, both uppers and lowers brighten as stop lights and flash as turn signals.
