Do you have a write up on how you did this ? If not can you share a little more info on how you did this. I think it looks great. Also what kind of tire carrier is that, looks like it's off of the stock bumper.
Sure thing! I started by cutting the wires to the stock 3rd brake light after the connector that is in the tailgate, pretty close to the light.
The new light is made from an Oracle Lighting light that is meant to attach to brake shields and give cars a Tron-like effect. I called and ordered 1, but they sent me a full set of 4.
The hoop itself was a little big for an ATX Slab (the light wouldn't have shined through the holes in the wheel), so I had to shorten the aluminum ring with tin snips and pop rivet it back together to the size I wanted. With my AEV tire carrier, I didn't have a mounting point for the brackets they sent me, so I bought a brake dust shield from my dealership for a couple dollars. The kit comes with L brackets and mounting hardware, but I chose to use the aluminum rivets.
The next step was to wire up the LED strip to the original tail light wires.
The brake shield sandwiches between the wheel and the tire carrier to hold the LEDs in place. The lights can't be seen when the light isn't illuminated.
But it looks pretty good when lit up!
Let me know if I can help you with anything else, I still have a couple rings left too.
