Default Swapping Tail Lights

Does anyone know what this entails? When I bought my car it had clear euro tails, flush mounted. I want to go back to the stock tail light look but don't know if the flush installation means there's more to it that just swapping the lenses and gaskets or if there's an entire tail light assembly swap that needs to take place.

Can anyone who's made this, or the reverse, swap let me know what I might be getting into?

For me..when i upgraded to Halo's, i merely removed the 2 taillight screws, gently pulled out the taillight assembly, unplugged them, plugged in the new HALO's and screwed them in. that's it. 20 mins.

Thanks. I hope you're right. I just don't know what modifications go into installing the flush tails. That's the part that concerns me.
