Auto Buero Spare Tire Brake Light for 2018–2025 Wrangler JL/JLU — 405-LED Red, Plug-and-Play Fit

This Auto Buero spare-tire third brake light installs without drilling and delivers ultra-bright, 405-LED red illumination designed for 2018–2024 Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU models with a backup camera.

Replace or upgrade the factory high-mount stop lamp on your Wrangler JL with a purpose-built spare tire brake light engineered for visibility and easy installation. Built to align with common Wrangler bolt patterns and rim sizes, this brake light accommodates larger backup cameras and many spare-wheel accessories thanks to an expanded center hole. It’s a direct-swap solution that reduces wiring and mounting headaches while increasing rear-end noticeability on the road.

How simple is the installation for this spare tire brake light?

Installation is designed to be plug-and-play: you won’t need to drill any holes or cut factory wiring. The light connects to your vehicle’s existing harness so it quickly replaces the original third brake light with minimal tools and minimal fuss.

• Plug-and-play connector—no splicing required
• No drilling or permanent modifications
• Completes replacement in minutes with basic tools

Will this fit my Wrangler JL and my backup camera setup?

The unit is customized for 2018–2024 Wrangler JL/JLU models that use the OEM backup camera layout; it is not compatible with Rubicon-specific configurations listed as Ribicon/Rubicon exceptions. The design supports common 5-lug wheel bolt patterns and a range of rim diameters.
