Default Third Brake Light on ORFAB tire carrier?

Anyone mount the ORFAB third brake light on their ORFAB tire carrier? If so, di work ok with the wires stretching when opened the tire carrier? or do you have to make sure open the rear tail gate in conjunction?

I wired up my own light and zipped tied the wires to the orfab tire carrier, hooked them back up to the factory wiring I then used some peel and stick zip tie mounts to keep the factory wirring from just hanging there.

I used the Teraflex bracket with mine. It bolts right in and is adjustable to your size tire.

I ran my wires through my carrier. Then into my JK at the hinge side of the jeep. Then I wired them into the factory wiring located under the carpet at that corner. No stretching, everything is tucked nice and tight, no problems.

Hope these pics help.
