It's just a check engine lamp.

The lights on my '68 are setup about the same way rlg_67 said. They look like the stock size taillights, but the previous owner cut out a place in the center of the rear fender for them. There are actually three tabs left on the fender that the lights screw into. The lights stick out maybe 1/4"-3/8". I have no reverse lights though. Looks pretty cool, plus I don't like the look of the stock ones.

I had a really cool idea for lights though. The aftermarket tailgates with the embossed bowtie would look kicka$$ with LEDs around the bowtie. The only problem would be how to mount them. I thought the long thin strip tail lights would work, but the lights would really need to be flush to look good. Haven't really worked out all the flaws, but I love the idea.
