Default mount 3rd brake light on swing gate?

has anyone come up with a nifty way to mount the 3rd brake light on the swing gate so it can still be used when a bumper with a tire carrier is used also?

i had also thought about extending the wiring and re-mounting the light on the tire carrier.

i found one thread on here that i was interested in, but the pictures weren't working anymore.

I'm looking at getting a 3" round LED and I'm going to replace my spare wheel center cap with the LED for my third brake light, then I can do away with the E.T. head on my tailgate.

How about this?


Looks like they modded the factory 3rd brake light to fit the bumper-mounted swingout.

What would be pretty unique if your good with creating stuff, is you mount a light on a center cap for the wheel and just bring the wires through the lug holes.

Here are a couple ideas.



Me personal favorite, there are three brakelight LEDs on the LP light. May look familiar to some here.

AEV makes one like the 3 LED lights above. I have them and they really work well.
