Are you talking about a new light with a matching connector? I can’t imagine not pulling the connector out of the frame and connecting it. I managed it and I’m not the world’s greatest mechanic.
There’s a thread on here somewhere that details how to do it. In my case it required unbolting the tank – I remember that much, but it wasn’t crazy hard to do.
My new harness was wired wrong and shoots the brights on dim and vice versa – you might check on your new light and switch the leads if you find that your light is known to do the same. I didn’t find out till I had mine hooked up.

I installed one of these on my bike. I used the stock harness from the bulb socket all the way to the plug. It was any easy swap and best of all, no cut wires.

You new light - if it has the 3 prong connector on the back of the bulb, don't pay attention to the wires poking out the bottom. Run the stock wiring in it's place.
