I've just taken mine out. There are 4 bolts which you've found on the back of the tailight. It's also attached to a mounting bracket hidden under the rear bar. Just take the bar off and then swap the tailights over with th new ones on the black bracket and remount. All up, about 30 minutes to an hours work.
