   Ok so my car came with lexarse lights, lets all laugh at me...
   
   I finally got a bulb holder today after waiting 3 weeks for the postman to deliver it so my standard lights are going on straight away...
   
   However i can't seem to prise the two plugs apart... the plug that connects the lights to the car, i see a little metal clip around the plug, i am guessing this is holding the plugs together but i cant get it off, do i just need to rip it off or something?
   
   Cheers
   
   Edit: oh yeah quick response would be appreciated, want to get the standards back on before it gets tooo dark...

   If I remember correctly you push that little metal clip in(from the top)while pulling on the connector plug.
