Any thread for relacing the front orange reflectors?

I'm hoping it's pretty easy to do.

Got mine today

I am not going to bed tonight till I get my painted ones installed. Took me a while to find this DIY. Thanks! Man, those orange reflectors or hideous.

Send a message via MSN to montreal red
when i did mine, i had a really hard time taking the stock ones out. what i did was folded a business card and slipped it under the middle of the reflector then used the card to give me leverage to take the whole reflector out...
