Default 3rd brake light replacement

Does anyone know if there is a replacement for the 3rd brake light so if I take off my tire carrier but still have the 3rd brake light on my tailgate? I'm not looking at keeping the factory one as it's too bulky, I searched and couldn't come up with anything.

thanks in advance!!!!

There are several options. One is a lug nut style brakelight. It goes in the two unused log holes on the spare. Another option is a third brake light that mounts behind the spare and looks through one oft holes on the spare. AEV has this in conjunction with a backup camera. Some other company makes the same type bracket without the camera. Check out Quadratec.

This is the ORO 3rd brake light. When I was running without a spare I used this light with a Poison Spyder tramp stamp/license plate relocation bracket. Since I bought the teraflex carrier I don't remove the spare anymore but the light works with either set up.Click image for larger version

The OP notes about taking the tire carrier off so I interpreted him as needing a tramp stamp with a third brake light. Vector Off-road makes the element plate with an add on bracket for mounting a third brake light. Cool thing about the element plate is you can use it to mount your license plate or a rotopax.

ID:	607970 The light works with or without carrier. I saw a thread in another section about running without a spare. If you type "ditch the spare and show your backside" in the search box it will link you to a 4 page thread on just what you're looking for. Good luck.
