I'll add that when the wife's bike fell on mine it knocked the lens off of one of my tail lights. The light was beat to hell but it was still working, even with the lens off, I think the LED was red. I did notice that there was a rubber o ring that fell out with the lens. I ended up buying new lights.

Changed rear indicators to smoked lens on the Rocker by carefully cutting around the original lens with a hacksaw blade. Only cut in just so you cut the original lens only, as there is a clear lens inside of this. Then I used a screw driver to pry into the cut an twist off the old lens which is sealed in with some type of sealer.Then I cleaned out all the old sealer.You need to trim down your new smoked lens to fit the chrome housing this is a bit time consuming but it pays to take your time so it is as nice a fit as the original.Then using some marine sealant I fitted up the new lens and carefully cleaned up the excess sealant with some mineral turps on a rag, make sure that the rag is only damp as you dont want to wash the new sealer out. Then I taped the lens to the base overnight and removed next day and polished up.Looks good and now matches the front indicators.
