Default "HYBRID" brake light cover

link to eBay

I contacted a few of these guys making 3rd brake light cutouts a few months ago because there weren't any for the FEH. One guy said he would make one, but after a few weeks I gave up on him..... he finally came through. This will fit the MMH as well.

I just ordered mine & thought others might be interested.

I thought of having one made like that but have it say "Charging"
Ok so the Toyota commercial gave me the idea.
Anyone have one of those cool laser plotters?

I can tell it's a girl 'cause she tells me where to turn.

Question Re: "HYBRID" brake light cover

Hey, I just picked up one of these, and I was wondering.... does anyone know if they are legal in New Jersey? Tried Google, haven't found anything yet. Guess I should have looked into it *before* I bought one!

What a cool idea. Do you know if your guy makes these for other hybrids? Like my Civic?

I would guess they are probably technically illegal everywhere, as they are an obstruction to the 3rd brake light. When I installed mine I was actually a little surprised that it covered so much of the light. But, I would also guess it's probably a fix-it ticket, like tinted windows.

As for other vehicles. Not yet, but this one didn't exist until I emailed him about it. Took him quite a while to make them - I found out later he got married and was on his honeymoon. But it looks like he's selling them quite well (I should get a commission!), so you might want to contact him and ask for a Civic version. Just look up this one on eBay and you'll be able to contact him.
