I didn't have one for awhile and didn't have any issues. Here's what I did with the factory light

I just read your wiki site. No where did it say that the third light had to be above the rear tire. Just that it had to be visible to drivers behind. Jkja10s' set up does everything wiki says. I see nothing wrong. And JK is from new York state(?). And the Highway patrol is super hardcore. If you can do it there you can do it anywhere...oh no he didn't quote Sinatra.
the OP never asked if it had to be higher or lower...he asked about REMOVING it.

When I installed the OR-Fab Tire/Gerry Can Carrier I made a small bracket and installed 2 round LEDs for my 3rd brake light. It passed inspection here in Texas.
The LEDs shine thru the spokes of my spare wheel. They were originally Lug Nut Lights.

Did they have a reason for this or they just wanted to save you the work? Besides, MOST dealers don't about their own products/warranties let alone the law. As long as you have a third lite visible, you will be fine no matter where it is located. Just don't drive drunk or with drugs/guns in your jeep and you will not be hassled for it!

I have the same carrier and I am currently not running my third light. Since the OR Fab carrier swings independent of the tail gate, how did you run your wiring? I assume you had to use some extra wiring that connected into the stock 3rd light wires since the stock wires are way to short?
