Diagram with signal directions shows separate wires to each brake light.
Car wiring harness diagram shows one wire connecting both lights.
Do we need to install new wires to replace existing?

What are the stock bulbs? If 63 use 81 instead. Twice as bright. If you have the room in the housing use 1129 for brake lights. It's a larger bulb so there may not be enough room. It can be used in the 37-38 housing, don't know about the 32. Paint the inside of your housings gloss white. After watching the video below I've been thinking about experimenting with this film in my 38's housings. I bought a few sheets to play with.

My 41 original only had two wires to the rear lights. One for when the headlights were on and one for the brake lights. When I changed to blinkers I used dual filament bulbs. For this reason there are three wires going to my tail lights. One to the right, one to the left and one that is for when the headlights are on. I had to also modify the sockets for this . Due to the age of the wiring all of the wires were replaced.
