Looking to see if anyone has found a vendor who sells a blackout/overlay decal for that ugly 3rd brake light on the Hatchback/Type R.

Even if it just showed “HONDA” or the Honda logo or “CIVIC” logo or “Type R” logo when brake was applied, that would be better than the ugly white reflector.

Looking to see what is out there first before seeing if a vendor can make one.

Thanks!

I bought a roll of vinyl tint to wrap my sidemarkers, and used it to wrap my third brake light as well. It was my first time wrapping anything, and I didn't have much trouble. I wrapped the brake light while it was still on the car, so there were some minor imperfections, but on the bottom of the light where no one is going to see it anyway.

What I used:

Car is dirty, so the vinyl doesn't appear as glossy as it should be. It actually blends in perfectly with the spoiler.

I also hate the clear brake light. This looks awesome!

A friend put some tint on mine. This photo shows it before the window was tinted; now it all blends in the same color. ;-)

Looks good but also looks like its too dark. I used Lamin X on the clear part of my taillights and I chose the lightest smoke tint. But since you did not tint your outer brake lights you should be fine for rearward visibility. Your car would look great with the clear inserts as well.
