How do you remove the lens? I thought I saw somewhere that they pry off. I didnt build this rocket ,but I d like to add LED brake lights without causing damage.

The metal trim ring is held in place by the lip of the rubber gasket and then the lens is held by the rubber underneath. Be careful as they are glass.

We sell an excellent 1157 LED bulb. I've had them in my roadster for several years without issue. Watsons Streetworks (http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=1157) They're not cheep but they are a whole lot less than your insurance deductible.We also have 3rd brake lights which are important because today's drives are conditioned to look for them. We have amber bulbs for the fronts as well. If you both front and rears you will likely need an LED flasher (2 if you have 4 ways). Here a well we carry one that works which is not necessarily the case with the chain stores.

I can certainly attest to the quality of the parts that Watson's sells. I have very willingly flowed a bit of money through their store. You will not be disappointed with anything that you buy from them! You pay for quality when you shop at Watson's.
