Please forgive my ignorance, what is the silver button on the front of your trailer?

There is a factory hole in the headboard for the Tamiya Trailer Light Set.

The dark 'button' is Tamiya's inexpensive alternative for people who either don't want the light kit or haven't purchased the hop-up.

Some builders just modify the trailer so as not to have a headboard

or to have a custom headboard of their own design.

Well I haven't done any out side pictures of my truck yet so I took a few from its last run with my crappy paint job :o and then she can come inside and the tear down will begin, and now I can get the mfu unit put in it and get it sanded down and send it to my uncle to get a new custom paint job :D
