Make sure you check your state driving laws. I know in some states if the vehicle came from the factory with a third brake light then you are required to maintain a working third brake light. I'd hate to find out the hard way about that...Especially after spending the money for the tramp stamp!!!

THis is great news as I didnt want to cut it. Part has been ordered. THanks everyone.
You do not need to cut the cable. If you remove the plastic grill on the inside of your tailgate you will find a connector that you can unplug. This cable runs through the grommet hole you will be plugging if you remove your spare carrier. You should save this is you plan on a reinstall or to add a third brake light after as you can just plug it back in again. There are some good write-up on this on the forum. I believe you may find it if you search third brake light/license plate delete/mount. I can't do it now, but if I get a chance later I will post the link. Good luck.
