Default 2013 Street Glide Tail light change

How difficult is it to change the rear light that's on the very bottom of the rear fender? I would like to change it to a custom dynamics so I can get the "strobe" for hopefully more visibility. it looks like it is a tight but manageable change hopefully without removing the rear wheel. Just curious if anyone has done this. Thanks.

You’ll have to jack the bike up to make room to get your arm in there. After that it’s cake.

Put the same light on my wife's 13 sg. Think it took 15 minutes or so. I didn't jack up the bike, probably would've been easier but I didn't have a jack at the time so no bug deal.

Not hard at all....did mine couple years ago. Don't remember jacking up bike, but I could have. If you change the tri-bar light, make sure you get the module to allow that to light with brakes as well. I have CD tail/turn lamps, plasma rods, and their tri-bar lights.... lots more light than stock, and brighter as well. Let us know how it goes!
