Default LED Brake light Install

I bought this light....

http://www.bikerhiway.com/led-tail-l...007-p-179.html

Installation says to remove the chrome insert from the lens..with a small screwdriver and by applying heat. I have found this to be almost impossible for fear of destroying the assembly.

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has successfully installed this. Or have others had the same problem?

Thanks

Sorry I can't help either. I havent seen one that is like that. Just did the Custom Dynamics install on my bike. It is the whole assembly as well. Two screws and one plug. It took me about a minute and I was taking my time on the install. It's real bright and I did the turn signals as well with the stop module from biketronics. Looks sweet imo.

HRLYSG,

You don't really neeed a picture. Just look at yours now. It looks basically the same.

However, here is a picture anyway. Scroll down to the Red Squareback.

Here is a top view on my bike. (Man!! Where did all that dirt come from??)
