Thanks for replying. Did not read it before installation, but thanks for the info.
For future readers:
Found that the descriptions I had researched referenced mudguard and mudguard removal to access the wires.
In my case, I have the Suzuki XT matching top-box. So, removed the top-box mounting bracket along with the passenger rail/luggage rack piece too.
Once those were removed the lighting assembly then "lifts off" to access the lighting assembly.
*** Not knowing, I also loosened side-box rail bolts for earlier mentioned uneeded mudguard removal and thus added extra time to the removal/install.
