BullyCR-018 Chrome ABS Plastic Universal Fit Truck Skull LED Brake Light Hitch Cover Fits 1.25" and 2" Hitch Receivers for Trucks from Chevy (Chevrolet), Ford, Toyota, GMC, Dodge RAM, Jeep

These hitches are great. The eyes light up when you press the brake pedal, and they add another indicator that you're about to slow down/stop for the driver behind you. The skull is plastic and the wire was long enough for my 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6 with the factory tow package. I had the same one 10 or 11 years ago, but it lost an eye light so I ordered this new one as a replacement. The new one is built much heavier than the old one, so it seems the manufacturer may be trying out thicker/heavier designs as the product matures. I wish the nose lit up, but just having the eyes is satisfying enough for my use case.

I bought a pair of these to use as turn signals for my Harley Sportster 883 Custom. They look great and are real head turners. They are not meant to be turn signals, so I had to do some wire cutting and splicing, but still came out very nicely. To mount them to the saddlebags, I used the plastic mount that came with them as a drilling template. I also chose not to use the screws that came with them, and instead, threaded the posts on the back of them, then used machine screws to attach. I have an older version, made of metal, mounted on my Honda Rebel that I also wired up as turn signals. I removed the circuit board and leds from it, and installed a pair of amber leds. I also build an aluminum back plate for it, so that I could more easily mount it to the sissy bar. I have another older metal one that I will be using for turn signals on a Honda Shadow VLX 600 Deluxe that I am making into a chopper. The eyes in this one will be red instead of amber. I have also purchased a pair of the black version, that I will be using on the chopper as brake lights, installed on saddlebags like my Harley.

Product arrived early and in perfect condition. I read a bunch of reviews both good and bad.1) go ahead and order a 1ft extension. You will most likely need this as to hide the harness and come up near the license plate. I wrapped the harness in black electrical tape. (wally world has one for $4)2) As there is a circuit board involved, I filled the cavity with silicon sealant so water will not be an issue.3) as one reviewer wrote, take your time when you attach the screws to the mounts. A little in, back it out a little, then in again. No issues.4) Have a couple of zip ties handy to secure harness.As one reviewer wrote, this will most likely be a target for theft. I purchased a locking hitch bolt. You could get by with a regular not and bolt. Might deter the common thief.It looks fantastic and functions great. I dinged it 1 star for durability as it is almost all plastic.

It's about as good as you think, completely made out plastic.

So I read the reviews in which people were experiencing the plastic posts breaking when they attached the skull to the receiver sleeve. Well it's like using a tap to thread a hole, you don't force it. You start screwing, then back it off a bit, repeat, and repeat, until you have tapped the hole. I also sleeved the post with a short piece of steel tube, just slightly larger than the post. That kept the post from breaking. I also cut a piece of clear polycarbonate to cover the back, to keep dirt and water out. It's not brain surgery, but if you have the patience and knowhow, you too can improve a good thing. I could have replaced the plastic receiver sleeve with steel, but it's not that big of a deal. Overall, I like it a lot.

This is gool!!!! Love It!!!

I can't plug this into my truck. It won't work and I get fault warnings and trailer disconnected.

I hate an empty trailer hitch receptacle, so I wanted to put something cool in there. I like the lights and the skull - kid at heart I guess. I have had one of these on my past 2 vehicles. While looking cool, it also helped out when I was rear-ended at a stop light. My "skully man" was a bit crushed, but my truck was fine. The person that hit me had a huge hole in their grill. They sent me off without any insurance or reports, so I was happy. A few quick clicks later on Amazon, and I have a new one in days. I will always have one on my vehicle going forward. Be safe out there!
