its just like all the connections on the car it has a small tab that you can push down with any small blunt object. It is very easy you will see it

For your own good. Tail tint is for ricers and was cool 6 years ago for about a week.

Perhaps I'm still living in that week and perhaps I am a "ricer," a term that is simply not used anymore (implies racism).

Perhaps I was looking to apply this to a different application...but thanks for the valuable comment.
