You will need to wiggle the bottom housing off but it will come off with just removing the upper and lower screw labeled #2 in the drawing.
Screws #1 do not go into the bottom housing. The drawing only shows # 2 screw from the top housing to the lower housing.

On my 2020 Fat Bob I swapped the bars and took off both housing with just the Number #2 screws. It helps if you slide off the grip when your remove the screws to give your self more play. The switches will dangle by the wires that run into the handle bars. It's a tight fit and helps if you have two people on the re-assembly.

Well I finally removed the lower housing today.I did end up removing the bracket with the two no1 screws and it came away once the brake light switch was de pressed allowing it out.However,after buying the replacement from ebay in Germany this is what came.Its not the same atall.No place for the bracket to be bolted down.Ive contacted them but no reply yet...
