Default Ace rear bumper tire carrier, what 3rd brake light are you using?

Just ordered the bumper today, curious what 3rd brake light solutions you guys are using.

It's fairly new to the market, maybe that's the issue. I'm not running the Ace but am using the Teraflex 3rd brake light bracket with my Or-Fab. It may be an option for you, not sure how close the Ace carrier is to the tailgate.

Mines about a month out but I expect I'll be fabricating my own bracket.

I was thinking about the teraflex one but I'm not sure if it's going to work with the way the ace carrier links to the tailgate.

I ordered the teraflex one and the bumper. It's 3 weeks out from shipping. I called the guys at ace and they said it should work but he wasn't sure. So I'll let you guys know what happens

I'm running the Expedition One rear bumper and tire carrier... and using the Expedition One third brake light. While I do like the ACE rear bumper... it is way too heavy.
