039.jpg038.jpg040.jpg I have only owned "1" M105 trailer so I'm no expert here, but I never heard that they used an "aluminum" housing with the "Black-out" lights being "LEDs". Do all the M105 trailers have these lights ? and where can I buy more. I would like to put some on my Deuce. My Deuce lights are the cheap plastic ones and keep cracking on me.

I have several trailer with the aluminum tail light housing with the LED black-outs. Some with the plastic housing. Don't think its too uncommon.

Nope, not un-common. The aluminum buckets are older and quality made. The led lights is a later up-grade.

If you buy a set from an individual ask them to remove the screws holding them together first. I've had more than one that the steel screws in the aluminum housing were so corroded that they would not come out and snapped off in the housing.

The aluminum lights were used on everything that used that style of light. Not all of them had LED modules for the BO function. They are still out there in quantity. The screws will corrode and seize up. As mentioned, make sure that the seller shows pics of the screws removed and anti seize them when you assemble them. A number of years back there was a glut of complete lenses that came out.

3 typos in your post. Must not have had your coffee this morning.

The last perfect person was crucified on a cross at Calvary. With that said I edited the post. I only found 2 typos. Care to share the 3rd?
Seize not sieze (according to Google). Feel free to delete my 2 posts after correcting. Was not meant to criticize just a heads up.

Stupid I before E except after C rule. Will fix. Since I used seize twice, wouldn't that be 4 typos?

I ended up with a lot of NOS aluminum tail light housings. These are OD green, blank housings. You will need to transfer the internals and lens. PM me if interested.

Just shows you no one is perfect. I missed the 4th one. :recovry4x4: Oh and there is no C in seize. I have no idea which rule applies. The spell check should have flagged it. The English language has some strange rules. One English teacher told us they basically made up the rules after the spoken language.
