stupid question but how do you replace the fog light bulbs?
I'm taking it apart and can get the bulb out but I can't for the life of me get that little tail that's connected to it out. Do I just yank it out? or is there a release mechanism? --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

No release mechanism, it's just a simple spade connector
 . It pulls straight out, but you may have to wiggle it around a bit, as it's in there pretty snug.
