I’ve got a 66 Dart GT that’s missing one of the brake light bulb housings. The first photo shows what is missing and the second photo shows how the other brake light looks. Any idea where I would be able to find one?

Put a want in the "for sale" ads. As a new member I don't know, you may need to have some minimum post number ---don't know
 
There are sockets with pigtails

These are not listed for 66 but if the diameter is correct...

Add your own wires with the correct connectors to attach to the OEM harness

The diameter and the focal length (fore-and-aft position of the bulb relative to the reflector) both have to be correct. The reflector is shaped to "look" at a filament in a very specific position. If the focal length is even a small bit off, the reflector can't gather and amplify the light from the bulb, so you'll get a useless little dot of light from the filament viewed through the lens, but not the big, bright, fully-lit lamp area you need to alert the dillweed behind you in the middle of a very important, urgent phone call that it's time to stop.

Absolutely, a wanted thread is where you need to start.
 
My 66 doesn't have any reflectors (other than the inside of the housing) just the socket to put the light in so find a doorman part number that fits in your hole and protrudes as far as your original one does. I used the pt14 socket for my inner tail light conversion so all 4 of my LEDs light up

Yes, I'm making some replacement Bezels for my crusty worn out ones for my 66.
