I finally bought a set of reflector inserts. Just tried to install them and was afraid I was going to break the current covers. The didn't come out too easily. Any advice from someone who has done this?
I tried putting a sting behind the plastic insert and pull but it didn't budge. Putting in the reflectors looks fairly easy. It's getting out the current covers is my problem.
Questions:
Do the current inserts have the same mounting system as the reflectors?
The reflectors I bought have a plastic clip (or hook) on one side and a metal clip on the other. I assume that the current insert is the same... yes?
If so... is all I need to do is hook the metal clip with either string or fishing line and pull it?
Please help. Thanks much.
