3rd Brake Light on Tire Carrier??
Does anyone know if there is a state or federal law requiring a 3rd
brake light? Has anyone purchased a rear bumper/tire carrier combo and
somehow mounted their 3rd brake light to it?? I have a feeling they
will flunk me at inspection here in Jersey if I don't have it. Any help
would be great.
TIA,
Jay

The only requirement that I can think of is if the 3rd light was original
equipment.

What vehicle? I added a round clearance light to my CJ-7 style carrier,
right in the center of the wheel location. (Those carriers were drilled
for a reflector from an earlier design).

You could call the NJ motor vehicle department and ask them.

California requires that if one was factry installed, it be in working
order. You are free to install one, here. I kind of like the one Jeep
installed over the spare. Check NJ law, but it's probably the same.
I put the license and a flood lamp in my spare, i guess the gas cans act
like a brake light?

I can't find New Jersey's vehicle code, other than they shouldn't
cover it with tinted glass: http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/cleanair/faq.html
and it doesn't specifically call for a third light on their SMOG
inspection: http://www.nj.gov/mvc/driver_manual/03pt6b.html Gas cans
work for me: http://www.----------.com/jeep68sand.jpg Of course only
Mexicans required the third light back in the seventies
