Default 3rd Brake Light - Let's See Some Creative Pics

I am putting on a new Trektop NX and I want to get rid of the "periscope" of a brake light. I've seen where they use 2) 3/4" LED on the lugnut holes. Looking for something that isn't a project to remove if I need to get my spare off.

I'll be running this: VENTURE S.S. Rear Identification 3-Light Bar #60017-1

Chopped down so all LED's sit in the openings of my wheel. The bend looks perfectly uniform with my 17's.

Still fab'ing the mounting bracket for the TF adj. carrier but should be done in the next week or so. Will have pics then.

I have since hidden the wiring for the brakelight and RCA and power cables. It's the AEV 3rd Brakelight kit that simply attaches to a bracket that slips over the studs between the spare and mounting bracket. The Camera is a IR b/u cam for the RER headunit.

Here is my RotoPaX brake light. It's 3 quick disco connectors and 1 Allen bolt set screw.

I have the AEV CHMSL too. It doesn't work with every wheel. On my ProComp 7089 I had to grind the slots on the bracket a bit so it would line up. It mounts on the studs of the tire carrier. Sandwiched between the wheel and carrier.
