1969 Mustang tail Light Bulb

[KT 69 12]

Putting my mustang back together it was just and empty shell when I bought it. Not having had a completely assembled car to take a part I am trying to piece this car back together without any original reference. Been going pretty good until I came upon the tail lights. I have my red lens, chrome trim, seals and huge metal tub with a single hole in it. Now my question......is that all a single light bulb for lights, brake lights, turn indicators.....????? Seems like something is missing? Looking online most of what I see are LED replacement for sequencial tail lights. I want to stay OEM.

 

So does one single little bulb cover light, brake, and turn signals? Seems like something must be missing. And such a large metal backing tub. Anyone with an OEM rear tail light setup that can confirm.

Ah yes, the simple lighting of the past.

 

With all the bulbs used on current cars as a reference, it would look like something is missing. Back up lights did not start becoming std. until the mid '60's and the side marker lights became mandatory in '68 ... so a '69 had a lot more bulbs than what was common just a few years prior !!
