Replace rear bumper lights?

I searched but didn't find anything on a how to or DIY for replacing the rear light cluster in the bumper. Backed into something and cracked up the lens pretty bad on the passenger side.

I've ordered the replacement part and was hoping to install it on my own. Is it a difficult task? Any advice or guidance appreciated!

It is an easy task. Had to do it with my wife's Q last year. Just unscrew it and plug it in. Then screw it back in. Easy. Took 5 mins.

Press the plastic cover, and with a phillips screwdriver remove the screw, and with your hand in the bumper from under, push out the old lense.

Thanks for all the feedback. It was indeed and easy job. Audi included new bulbs in the new assembly, so didn't have to mess around with bulbs. Easy peasy.
