Well I have just finished rewiring my trailer lights and all is well. I found all the intel on another thread, all went slick as s...imple even for me! I made up a wiring harness that fits my civvy ford explosion/ expedition keeping the military one intact so when I get a MV with motor the trailer harness will go back on the trailer and be compatible slick as s...imple even for me.
My thanks to those that posted that intel.![A toast to MV's :beer: :beer:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
However...along the way I found that I have two different tail light assemblies on each side of my M101A2, Kasel,1993 model. It has the inverted teardrop / plastic housing / Regular /BO tail light units. The interiors are configured differently. I am guessing that the Curbside is the original equipment as it has an all bulb style arrangment. The Roadside is a more recent replacement as it has a combination of bulb style for the regular lighting and electronic / led for the BO lights. I would like to have them match on both sides (just me being anal).
But I have a couple of ??
Can those electronic units be replaced, or do you have to replace the entire unit if a portion of the electronic lighting fails?
Are the electronic units more fail proof? Compared to bulbs.
IMHO I would think that the bulb units would be easier to repair on the side of the road and get going again. Looking for input and suggestions on these things I am an FNG at this still.
Also I found that curbside unit is missing the gasket/ O ring between the lenscover and the bulb housing unit. Is there an off the shelf gasket/ O ring part number that a fella can go the local parts house and buy or does another member have one of those that can be bought or traded for?
