Much bigger than I originally anticipated but looks really nice on my Grand Cherokee
Much bigger than I originally anticipated but looks really nice on my Grand Cherokee. Its pretty bright during nighttime driving and was easy to install once you finish assembling the plastic bracket used to attach it to the hitch. The bracket is cheaply made and a pain to align properly. I would suggest ignoring the washers that come with the screws because they add nothing but frustration. Overall good product at a solid price. We will see how long it holds out against the elements.

A very functional and cool accessory. Looks great and adds character to my Suburban. It's uniqueness makes my vehicle stand out in a crowded parking lot, and makes it easier for someone to follow on the interstate, plus the extra break light is an added safety feature. When turned off, The gold really shines when the car is sitting in the lot, yet the brake light shines brightly thru it illuminating red whenever the break is applied or at night when the lights are on it is at low glow. I did have to buy a multi pin adapter at a my local U-haul for around $10, to get it to work with my tail light switch, however it installed easily without any hassle. For the money, this is one of my favorite accessories I've put on my ride.

THIS IS SO AWESOME THAT I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE HOW PLEASED I AM!! FIRST OFF, YES IT WORKS!!! IT LIGHTS UP BRIGHT RED WHEN YOU ARE WARMING UP YOUR VEHICLE AND WHEN YOU TOUCH THE BRAKES/HAZARDS ECT.. IT FIT PERFECT OVER MY HITCH ON MY 2016 DODGE RAM! NOW MY TRUCK HAS THE PLUG ON THE UPPER RIGHT SIDE OF THE PLATE (NOT UNDER THE TRUCK) SO I DID HAVE TO GET A $6 EXTENSION BECAUSE UNDER THE SKULL HEAD THE WIRE HAD TO GO UNDER MY TRUCK AND UP AND OVER THE BUMPER TO GET PLUGGED IN. I DIDNT WANT THE WIRE SHOWING ON THE FRONT/OUTSIDE , MEANING I COULD HAVE GRABBED THE CORD AND JUST AIMED IT UPWARDS TO PLUG IN (BARELY WOULD HAVE REACHED) BUT I DIDNT LIKE THE WAY THAT LOOKED SO I BOUGHT AN EXTENSION AT THE AUTO STORE AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!!! THE CHROME IS SO COOL LOOKING! YOU MIGHT KNOW THIS BUT MAYBE YOU DONT THE "WHOLE" ENTIRE HEAD LIGHTS UP RED WHEN BRAKING, MEANING NOT JUST THE EYES. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

got this for my suv, and it looks awesome, the chrome looks super, now it is make of plastice, but you would never know, I wasn't sure if the skull would lite up, as in the pic. on the website, but it works just like the pic, because it looks like chrome, then when you apply the brakes the whole skull lights up red, with the eye and nose parts looking black, I don't know how they can put that light to show through plastic, especially if it looks like chrome, that's what fools a lot of people, they think it's chrome, until you apply your brakes, then the chrome turns into red, and the light projects it evenly through out the skull, very happy with this purchase, it fit's 1 1/4 and 2" hitches, and comes with all the hardware for each size, this is a must, if you like this sort of thing

I bought the all black finish. Great quality build and easy install. I had to buy a 7 to 4 pin adapter for the power connection and I also purchased a lock to prevent theft. Overall it's built very well and looks better than what it costs! I placed it on my 03' GMC Yukon Denali stock 2" hitch and it fit perfectly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool lighting effects at night, but half metal half plastic was a let down
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
The light looks good at night, but I had a couple of issues. The face is made of metal, that part is quality, but that back piece that goes into the receiver is plastic. That kind of leads into my other gripe, it is not one solid piece of metal, it came in pieces you have to assemble. I would have preferred this be one solid piece, seems kind of flimsy when you screw plastic pieces into a metal piece, kind of like going half in on something instead of all the way. The cord was not very long either, it barely went from the hitch to the plug mount on my 2014 Silverado.

In summary the light looks good at night and it worked out of the box, but the cord is short and the back end is cheap plastic.
