The single red brake lamp worked off a pressure switch at the back of the master cylinder and could be isolated by a switch on the dash.

The pair of red tail lamps could be turned on with a switch on the dash, but from there the current went to a switch at the rear of the vehicle (a toggle switch on Fords marked 'red/white' and a dimmer switch on Chevs). Flip this switch one way and the current lit up the pair of red tail lamps. Switch it the other way and it lit up the 'white' lamp shining on the rear, white painted differential.
