Replacement of Rear "storm light"

Got the reflector to install in the rear bumper of my '09 Z. I know nothing about DYI things and will go to my local, lifelong mechanic for this. Does the black cover just pop off and the reflector lamp pop in*? It's not the lighted lamp---just the reflector. Are there clips or anything he should look out for?

PS Thanks Jared.

Yeah, it just bolts in/off. It's a 5 minute job.

Unless Nissan used extra Loctite on the nuts. The stock reflector may not survive the removal procedure.

No prob man! Luckily I was able to remove my '13 reflector without any damage at all by heating the locktite up and loosening the screws. There is just two black rivets that pop out and allow you to remove the old reflector. Just use a flat head to pop out the inside of the black rivets.
