Isn't the 3rd brake light a federal requirement?

From an article titled "The Odd World of Third Brake Lights"
Although all new cars must be sold with three lights, not all states require the additional light. This effectively means you can remove the third light in some states or cover it over with something.So, can you get rid of that light growth on the back of your car? Well, every state has different rules and regulations [surprise, surprise], so you'll need to figure out what applies in your area. One easy way is to simply ask an officer. This should preferably be done before you remove the light and are in the middle of being written up for a ticket!

the jk brake light is ugly as hell if you have to have a 3rd light by law by state but dont want the big clunker on the back gate, get a plug in hitch style nothing will be said about that, its a third light.

and with an aftermarket carrier and bigger tire, it blocks me from seeing anything directly behind me without leaning left/right.

i want it gone more for the ugliness and rattling then that though.
