Is the center indicator panel left in place or removed?
My thinking is that it gets removed, but I thought I'd see if someone who has installed one could chime in before I attempt to put mine in. Couldn't find an answer on the net.

I installed mine with that panel left in and it was alright but you could see the indicator shapes in the little bulbs and it makes it not as bright, so I ended up uninstalling it and removing the sheet. I think you should remove it so you won't have to do it again.
Cool beans, thanks! How bright is the high beam light when lit? I remember reading somewhere that is real bright with the KG Works/RS Products panels.
The high beam indicator is pretty bright without the dark plastic screen thing left in. I'll see if I can get a picture real quick...
Sorry the photos suck; all I had around was my phone.
Next time I have my gauge hood off, I might replace the tinted window thing for the high beam.
Oh, wow, that is bright! I think I'll try using a piece of lexan tinted with some paint to knock that down to a more reasonable level. Pretty sure I have some still left over from my RC hobby days.
I removed my plastic piece as well and haven't had any issues with the high-beam light. I have a KGW panel btw. Not sure if it's different than the RS Products piece.
iirc, I took off the piece that has the warning light/high beam symbols on it, but mine also had a thicker piece of shady, transparent plastic only over the high beam light (which I also removed). The shaded window piece was about as thick as the turn signal arrow pieces. The symbol piece blocks most of the light for the high beam, I think, but the shaded piece should be enough.
If I could do it again, I'd take off the symbol piece, but leave on the shaded window for the high beams.
Pro tip: do this.
The high beam is painful otherwise.

^that's a good idea
What was done there Adam... Paint the inside of that cavity black?
That's the plastic piece with the symbols on it, but it's cut to cover only the high beam indicator. That piece blocks a lot of light.
