How do you unplug this...?

I hate sounding like a complete car moron, but I have yanked on this thing pretty hard and its not budging. I would rather not break my tail light. 

 

I am swapping my LED tail lights for black Recon LED tail lights. and this is the tail light connector. Does anyone know how to take it off?

Slide the red tab back toward the wiring until it clears the grey tab it is wedged under. Once it is all the way back, press down on the grey tab and gently rock the connector back and forth pulling toward you.

Yup, couldn't put it any more simpler.

Thanks man. I won't admit to what I was doing, but your comment helped a lot. I have a habit of breaking things when I DIY, and I didn't want this to be a stupid costly mistake. 

 

Thanks!

No worries, bud. We’ve all been there. Glad you got it handled.

It gets caked in there really good because of the dust and dirt. I cleaned the plug very good first and it slid much easier.
