Hey all,

I've been stuck in my quest to remove the bumper for 2 days now thanks to the foglight connectors. I did a thorough search on the boards here and it looks like I'm the only newbie who ran into this problem. I saw someone mentioning twisting "1/4 of a turn" and I ran into random DIY pics that I thought would help, still no dice. So here's what I've done so far:

- Taped up the headlights and removed the bolts and screws from top/under/sides.
- Pulled down the bumper just a little bit so I could stick my hands between the fogs and the oil coolers. I can clearly tell it's all loose except for the foglight connectors now.
- Pulled and twisted the crap out of the brown piece to no avail. I noticed that the black piece with the 2 pin green thing on it remains on the foglight from the pic.

I'd like to know, if anyone remembers...
Which way and how did you twist the connector?
Am I supposed to find a clip somewhere or squeeze the brown piece a certain way?
Any other easier way to get your hands on there without rubbing against the oil coolers with an annoyingly short foglight wire? I have the aero package and no lift so I think underneath isn't an option for me =/

Any tips appreciated!

PS. If you haven't figured it out I'm a noob and this is my biggest undertaking so far (trying to install RB screens)

 

There is a tab on the wiring plug...push it and pull out the plug. You don't want to twist...you will take out the light.....

 

yeah push down the tab and pull it out

 

Whew that was easy.. thanks guys, I couldn't see in there too well so I had no idea. It worked on 2nd try even with a short wire/small opening with my left hand! (right handed) More fun when I have to put it back on

 

yeah took me a while to figure that out
