very easy to do m8 , just done both of mine. just make sure to not over tighten as you could strip the thread and if you are replacing both just make sure to have the correct wires on the switches.

take old switch off and look at the bar range. make sure your replacement switch is the same range as if not it will blink on your dash and it is really annoying:)
