Default 08 Heritage rear turn swap

I bought the bullet style tail lights to swap out from the lollipop style... Looking for some instructions or a good video for install. Im thinking they wont be a hard install.. I just want to know what I am getting into before I start taking things apart.. Anybody have tips or a link to a vid?

I changed from stock to these the summer of '21 and it must have been easy as I have no recollection of any hardship. Part was ordered from Harley but I don't have the bill anymore. I think it was pretty well a plug and play
It is a 2011 heritage

Im guessing the hardest part would be de-pinning the plugs to remove the existing lights, and then re-pinning the plugs for the new lights.

If the bar is like the one seen in post 2, and if from Harley, then it’s plug and play. The hardest thing will be removing and reinstalling the bolts holding the bar to the fender. There isn’t much room between the tire and fender but there is enough room to get your hand in there. I found that a 9/16 ratchet wrench works best and it’s difficult to turn the bolts by hand. Just be sure to use some blue locktite and get them tight or they will back out and jack up the paint. The wires from the new bar plug into the sockets where the old wires were. Another alternative would be to remove the back fender but isn’t necessary.
