Trying to figure out how to get the lower plug out in the bottom of back assembly. Top narrow one easy.... looks like 2 outside tabs need to be pried away and pull? Pretty narrow and delicate wing things. Thanks

This plug? You just grab the wings and pull it out.

or are you talking about the main headlight CONNECTOR?

Locking tab is on the bottom of the connector, should just squeeze and pull.

Yes the one on bottom next to dust cap. I didn't feel a tab on the bottom, and seeing it is impossible. Will try again. Putting a basic 9005 HID kit in from HID Extra. These halogens are crap.

Thanks.... Didn't need to mess with those anyway turns out. Just had to use plug from bulb.
Only thing I did not like on the conversion, was putting a hole in dust cap to run bulb through with grommet on other end. While that itself was ok, you have to run a separate relay wire in the hole too, to plug that into the OEM bulb plug.
The grommet groove will seal 3/4 way on the cap. And on the drivers side you definitely have no slack on the OEM plug. Had to patch the gap hole from relay wire with high temp elec. tape. Lights are pretty now.

How do you insert photos from library? Can't find a option for this in header.
