Default Bugeye - Changing rear lights

Hi

I am looking at purchasing a bugeye (as my classic has been written off) but I have seen a few with the newer rear lights

Is it a simple straight forward swap or what work is involved ??

Hi matt I changed mine to blobeye rear lights and it was a straight swap,they fit the same as the bugeye ones but you will need to remove a little bit of rubber on the circle bit at bottom of lights so they fit flush
