Anyone got any advice on how to remove the connectors on these headlamps. The tight fit is fiddly, but that in itself wouldn't stop me getting them off. They just seem highly stubborn - is there some hidden catch ? Have tried pulling the whole black connector in most directions ... no joy.

Squeeze them firmly at the back edge and pull, they will come out. The difficult bit is getting the bulbs in and out, in a very confined space!

Was too timid to go down the pliers route straight off, but will give that a shot tomorrow ... efforts so for virtually pulled the bulb out with the connector :-)) though the whole assembly kind of bends where it slots into the holes in the headlamp lens.

Anyway, roll on tomorrows attempt - can't wait (not) - thanks folks.
