If you have "lifted" your Jeep or have a larger-than-stock spare wheel and tire on the back, chances are your high-mount third brake light has either been deleted or is no longer as visible as it once was, making it less than effective. Rugged Ridge has the perfect solution to restore your Jeep to factory safety standards AND increase the cool factor at the same time! The Rugged Ridge Accessory Brake Light LED Ring adds a surprisingly brilliant ring of torch-red LED's behind your spare tire- guaranteed to grab the full attention of all who are near. Designed to work with various rim diameters from 15 to 20-inches on Jeep CJ / YJ / TJ and JK models having either a 5 lug bolt patterns with 4.5, 5 or 5.5" spacing. Fitted with waterproof connectors, this Accessory Brake Light LED Ring is impervious to the elements for consistent all-weather performance. Imagine a world where nobody can ever say "I didn't realize he was stopping".
I installed this on my son's 2010 2dr JK. As a new driver, I wanted to increase visibility as much as possible, especially at night. Super easy to install and didn't take more than 30 min. Now everyone will know when he's braking.
Very happy with this purchase.
Kinda wanted to wait and see how it handled heavy rain and car washes. It does it just fine. Really cool looking and practical. I have an oversized spare and a bike rack. The bike rack covers up the stock 3rd brake light so I replaced it with this. Pretty straight forward installation. Just plug and play. It would be nice if it had the option to run both the wheel light and the OEM but if you know what you are doing I think you can rig it up. I just went with an easy replacement.
Really bright lights. I feel a lot safer driving with it than I did with the OEM light.
