Default How do I install this part?

My recently acquired Venetian Blue ‘87 Carrera Coupe only has one part missing....the combination brake/seatbelt light. Actually, only the lens appears to be missing, but I had to buy the whole thing as that’s all I could find on eBay. I’m not handy at all unfortunately...is this plug n play or does anyone have instructions on how to install either just the lens of the whole darn thing?

thanks!

Should pry out reasonably easy. Unplug old, plug in new. Get something like this for prying.......

If this is a challenge for the OP I have to assume that pulling a gauge would be worse.
