On the '69 I just parted, it was inside the light socket.

All you have to do is tap off the headlight wiring. Best place is before the dimmer switch so the park lights are on all the time. For 67 that would be the brown wire coming from the headlight switch to the dimmer. There should be three wires on the dimmer, a green and white going to the high and low beams (not sure which is which though).
 
There isn't a switch that you can clean on the trunk light. It uses a mercury switch near the light or somewhere along the wire to the light on the trunk lid. I'm pretty sure it's near the light itself. Should be on a mounting tab you can bend. The light comes on as the switch tilts, it's probably "settled" with age/vibration and twisted a bit so that it doesn't stay contacted when the trunk lid is up. Might have intermittent problems when parked up or down hill regardless.
