tail lights

[jimm1009]

Has anyone ever taken a lens cover assembly from an aluminum housing tail light and installed it in the composite (plastic) light? Or, have you taken a composite lens assembly and installed it on the aluminum light housing?
Same with the front lights. Are the covers interchangeable between the plastic and aluminum lights?

I put the new plastic covers on my “al” housings and they fit perfect they are a direct replacement.

I found one of the old tail lights in the barn tonight and I tried switching the covers.
They do fit just fine but I did have to keep the longer screws with the newer cover as it is thicker.
Thank you.
