Headlight Harness Removal?!?! HELP!!

How do you remove the harness from the headlight housing. Is there a clip or a way to turn it?! I am getting extremely frustrated here. Any help would be really really appreciated.

This is the piece I am referring to:

You're just trying to unplug the harness? On the bottom there is tab you push in to release the harness. It has small ridges on it, and you have to push in the tab, and then pull the harness away from the headlight. It's hard to do from inside the engine compartment if you have big hands... much easier if you remove the wheel liner and do it from inside the wheel compartment.

Aaahhhh!!!!

Amazing haha! Thank you so much!! I was feeling pretty defeated, but now I am back!!!!

I am painting the inside of the headlights black today and I am feeling pretty confident about the process but if you have any tips or pointers that would be awesome.

Thanks again! I really appreciate it!

It was a major PITA for me the first time. When I reconnected everything, I did not re-clip the harness into the clip on the headlights so I have slack in the harness everytime I need to remove my headlights.
