I do like the lights in the lug holes. It seems way easy and a solid fix without spending too much on it!

E: I thought it looked good until I noticed the lug holes are covered! Back to looking now...

I've got the lug lights too, very bright and work great. They were also cheap if I remember right.

Somebody has to have other ideas.... I like the lug hole brake lights but the holes are covered, same as the center hole light.

I just finished modifying mine to fit behind my LOD gen. II tire carrier. It looks great and cost me nothing. Just lowered and re-used the original light. I did not want to attach the lights to the tire carrier and have to reroute wires. It is dark now, so will post pics tomorrow

I would use the lights that go in the lug holes, but that's not an option with this carrier. I think trying to cut the factory carrier may be my best option. I want it attached to the carrier, not the gate, and I don't mind running the new wire.

Default LED lug nut hole lights

Where did you find the Lug Nut LED lights...Made from parts or was it a kit?

I'll have to check one out, thanks.

I went with the Teraflex 3rd brakelight with my OR-Fab and its been perfect. Its a clean setup, its adjustable (in case you go with a bigger tire eventually), has a built in CB antenna mount and the wiring is plug and play.

Here's my solution. I keep my hardtop on though.
Bought it off ebay for $20. It's LED and works with brake, turn signals, and running lights.
