Then I removed the long horizontal panel on the inside of the tailgate and removed the brake light wire from behind it and removed it all the way back to inside the Jeep near the tailgate hinges (behind the carpet). Then I just re-routed it out of the bottom corner below the tailgate as seen in my picture you've posted above. It basically goes inside the Jeep and the wires lead to behind the carpet near the subwoofer just as the factory wired it... So in essence I just re-routed the wire from being in the tailgate to dropping outside at the bottom of the tailgate as seen in the photo. I can snap some more pictures and e-mail them to you if you like... just PM me w/your e-mail address if you need them.

EDIT: If I recall correctly, I may have had to cut the wire to get it out of the grommit on the outside of the tailgate... but the actual length of the wire is same as stock... hopefully that makes sense...

But its true most cops are not mechanics or "car guys" Its not like it’s a change that stands out and hits them in the face like a load exhaust or tinted windows.

Your individual state laws will regulate if it is required to be maintained and in what way. Texas has the same basic statute. You are required to have at least 2 brake lights on a passenger vehicle, but if you have more they have to be working.
