Chrome door lock pins

I have searched some old threads and it seems a right palava to replace the door lock pins with the chrome ones i bought. These are the pins which go up and down on the doors when you lock the car

Yes i know i should have searched for how to fit them before buying !

Has anyone tried recently? My car is a MCS March 2006

Don't they just fit over the top of the original ones?

Or have you got a different type?

The're the ones from Mini mania.... the pack includes two pins and two replacement surrounds. Reading some of the old posts it appears I have to take the door panel off;remove the locking rods ans wrestle the old pis off !!

In my 53 reg MCS the black plastic ends were moulded straight on to the steel linking arm so would need to be cut off to be replaced.
I junked mine and fitted red LED's up through the door instead.
