Hi Everyone,

I've seen tons of postings on this with not much luck...I recently did an AEV 2.5" lift, AEV bumper & tire carrier with new 35's and LOVE it....however, the person that did the work for me didn't pay much attention to the 3rd brake light and its something that I'd like to replace. The stock wiring still remains and I'd like to re-utilize that if possible. I no longer have the stock light/tire carrier. Does anyone have any suggestions? The AEV 3rd brake light option is not possible since the rims I have do not really have a place to expose the light so it would need to go above the tire, or preferably on the mast of the AEV tire carrier. Thanks in advance everyone for the help and suggestions!

 

Look at Rock Hard 4x4 3rd break option. It is what I have on my 2010 Wrangler. I like and it works.

You can actually buy the same light at an autoparts store for about 3 bucks and then run the wire yourself. If you do not have wire, buy the kit from Rock Hard as it will end up costing you that much any how. Just remember, on a vehicle, black is ground not hot. I blew a few fuses before I figured that out.

Thank you for the quick reply John...unfortunately, I have seen this, and its not an option for me. The rims I have have a center cover (they are XD Monsters - pic attached)...I was looking maybe for something that more replicates a stock light but perhaps sits on top of the AED tire carrier mast. The only options I've seen so far are home grown fabricated solutions. While I'm not against this, I don't have the stock light anymore to fabricate something.

 

On q-tec they had this

I was thinking about that....but I thought it would look silly. Right now the AED bumper/tire carrier I have has a mast for other accessories. I thought it would be a bit "much" I've attached a picture of the mast.
