Default Chrome Switch Housing Install

Here's the instructions for the installation of the chrome switch housings if you plan on doing it yourself so you can see what's involved first... HERE

Also take a look for grip removal help... HERE

Don't forget to install a spacer when doing it or you will probably break the brake light switch on reassembly.

Did not work for me either.....sorry. Was not too hard to do if you take your time, there are two screws inside and one is hard to see. At least that is how is was on my 08 RKC. Was not able to secure the small zip tie back in either, but I don't think it moves once all reinstalled. Just my experience.
