Question "Seasonal" third brake light overlay vinyls?

Has anyone ever seen vinyl overlays that can apply to the rear window over the third brake light for temporary use? Specifically I want to be able to have seasonal messages appear. Like right now my brake light would say "Merry Christmas." Then I could change them as desired.

great idea......but have never heard of anything like this before though.....would be sweet if you could buy black sheets of window clings and cut out designs you want....

x2 on a good idea.. you could have vinyl overlays made.. and just use them and trash them.. you can get them made for 5$-8$ each.. dunno how many times a year youd be changing them though. lol.

yeah, seems like opening up that rear panel to change them over and over is asking to break the clips since a lot of people break them on their first try.

however, good idea. if they're just static cling ones, they most likely won't be thick enough. I have auto vinyl that i used to do my bowties, and i figured out it needs 2 layers to stop light, so i will be cutting my own custom one in a bit.

but you could do that, get some vinyl and cut them yourself, or just wide black tape if you want to go the economy route.

No, I'm saving that trick for my headlight eyebrows!
