tailight connector

lwlba · Sep 22, 2008

okay, so i feel like a noob asking this.

....

anyways, i got me some new taillights and i went off to try to switch them. i was able to get teh housing off, but i can't get the clip/connector off of the old tailights. (the one that links to the lightbulbs and also connects to the wires) any ideas? and of course i searched.

coupe btw.

greatly appreciated.

You mean the part that attaches to the bulb? Push the clip in and pull, use a small flat head screwdriver if you have to.

hmm i was able to get the connector disconneted from the wire through the tab. sobasically i was able to get the taillights off the car. but the connector is still on the housing, and i din't see any tabs? :thinking:

tail light? don't you just twist the connector of the harness off of the lamp? unless you're talking about the headlights which is hard for me also. haha

you talking about taking the bulb out of the tail light? rotate it to the left and it will come out. if thats not it, and youre talking about the plug, just push the tab on top down and unplug it.

i had no trouble twisting the light bulbs off. but the light bulb is connected to an adapter, that's connected to an connector (which is the one i had truolbe taking off, and it's attched to this little extended piece on the housing of the tailights), and the connector plugs into the wires that gives it power and such.

the connector can be separated. i was able to separate it by pressing onto the tab into 1)the connector, and 2)the connecter that is on the wires side.

i can't get 1) off of the housing.

dang maybe i should go take a pic.
