Default 3rd Brake Light when Installing new bumper/tire carrier..HELP and pics?

What solutions has anyone tried or have on their rig right now to keep a 3rd brake light when installing a new bumper

I got this:

ARB Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier for 07-12 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

and I am wondering if there is anyway I can use the stock brake light? If you have a good solution please posts pics

Thanks in advance

Jon

I'm running the Teraflex bracket with my Or-Fab carrier. It bolts to the factory holes, is low profile, adjustable up/down and reuses the factory brake light. Not sure if it would work with the ARB carrier tho...

third light is hitch light and if im using trailer then most people are going to pay attention to those. in va the law states::(NOTE: Every vehicle must have a rear lamp showing a red light to the rear, a white light illuminating the rear license plate; vehicles over 7 feet wide or extending 4 inches or more beyond the front fender extremes must be equipped with approved clearance lamps and reflex reflectors. Count load in measuring.)

Right so two brake lights are enough , the purpose of third is to be high up not in the hitch hole , most state laws say if the car that has a third brake light which is not removable then it must work , the jeep third brake is removable so it is not require to have one , I was worried about it at first till I ask every cop I meet and none of them told anything was wrong

One year driving with the big thing behind me and not on stop or anything

Thanks for the replies. As long as I can still use my cb mount I might get one of these options
