I remember having a hard time finding the proper tail light bulbs for the trunk lid lights when I bought my car a few years ago. Now the # 1095 bulbs are next to impossible to find. I found a box of ten and hopefully will be getting them next week. For those of you non 65-66 Dart owners, the tail lights in the trunk lid are just tail lights. The bulbs have to be the same wattage as the tail light fillaments in the brake/turn lights in the 1/4 panels or the whole back end looks wierd. Any other 5&6 Dart owners have the same problem? toolmanmike
 
Yep mine were like that also on the second 66 dart and I couldn't find enough of the light that were the same level of brightness as either running or Brake level, it bothered me a lot so I found a section of wiring harness for the outer lights and made them ALL running brake and blinker.. looks better in my opinion.. now if I can jst get those darn LED lights working right I'll have killer lights in the rear.. super bright when I'm @12+ volts but not so good at Idle.(yeah I know that it'll help if I go late model alt and regulator. soon) .. I gotta figure out how to wire a "buck puck" in there for constant voltage and some nice H4's in the front
 
Didn't Fastback340 recently post something about adding resistors or something for LED lights?
