Barracuda tail light swap

When I replaced the valance on my 69 I left the backup lights off for all the same reasons. Since the AMD valance was for all years, it didn’t have the backup light holes. I put a light strip on the license plate. Works fine. I also like the 69 tail the best of all three years, but the tail trim panels are hard to come by at a reasonable price.
Looks the most sorted out of all 3 years. Will prob paint my 67 trunklid to have 2 red strips to connect the taillights like the 69. The 68, what were they thinking with the big assed reverse lights and tiny taillights.
