Need advise how to change tail light lens

here's a little advice - practice on a not-so-good lens first. the good news is the reverse lens is the easiest to take out as it is rectangular and small
there are 2 basic ways - a dremel tool or a hot knife. you have to cut the lip off of the back side without damaging the rest of the lens. you also want to cut the lip off as smoothly as possible as it will show more in the clear lens if it is rough. you might also check with Stan to see if he has any back up light lenses ... since you only need the one lens he might have a single lens as from his manufacturer they are the same for both sides.
putting them in you use an adhesive like Fusion urethane adhesive - https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Fusio...id=1546730384&sr=8-4&keywords=fusion+adhesive
so here's the question, did you buy this one from coupeking? as that is the picture he uses ... or did you buy the one from Oz?

This is great advice. I used a Dremel tool on mine but I practiced on another lens first.
i've had the best luck with a butane hot knife.
