Default Aftermarket 3rd Brake Lights

Hello all,
So I recently installed Fab Fours front and rear bumpers on my 2012 jkur. The bumpers are great and the rear tire carrier is very stout, but I need to get a 3rd brake light so I can go through state inspection. Anyone that has experienced this, what route did you take to fix it? If you have pics that would be great too.

i bought a small red led light from wally world and made a small bracket that mounted on the tire carrier behind the wheel and the light shines thru the wheel when i hit the brakes like this AEV Conversions 10404001AA - AEV CHMSL (3rd Brake Light) - Quadratec... but a friend of mine has the cat eyes that mount right in the lug holes and they work great too..Delta Tech 01-6581-50 - Delta Waterproof Lug Nut Light for Aftermarket Swing Spare Tire - Quadratec

good luck

Thanks,
I had the AEV CHSML but I didnt like the way it worked with my tire carrier, so I returned it. I'll look into the delta tech ones. Also saw a TJ the other day with the license plate relocated to the center of the spare along w/ lug lights

What about one of those LED strips you see on the back of pickups in between the bumper and tailgate? Would those work on a Jeep??
