When Gatsby starts to talk about the “green light” that burns at the end of Daisy’s dock it is because that is all he has to know that Daisy is somewhere near and close to him. Once he realizes that Daisy is in fact in the same room with him he realizes that the green light is no longer the only thing that can remind him of her because she now knows where he lives and that he is somewhere close to him too. So then once Gatsby realizes that he has Daisy and that Daisy is happy to see him, the green light is no longer needed because of the list of things that are important in life, the green light is now no longer on it. Now that Jay Gatsby has the love of his life in the same room with him he no longer only has to use the light as an excuse to look in the direction of her.
