When removing the rear bumper, the wiring to the license plate lamps enter the plastic housing before there is a detachable plug... It's not obvious to me how to remove the housing (or disconnect the wiring to the lamps) so as to free the bumper? | ||

Should've spent another minute on it before I gave up... the housing has a slight pressure fitting (I was surprised how easy it came out), that when pushed from the backside of the housing, the whole housing pops through toward the license plate. Unscrewed the lense, pulled out the assembly far enough to disconnect the two wire/blade attachments. Then, it should be as easy as sliding the blades back out through the wiring hole in the housing, right? Unfortunately, one of the blade connectors has a plastic rectangular sheeth around it, making it completely impossible for it to fit inside the housing at any correct angle to pull it out of the small hole where the wiring & grommet go. Any suggestions besides cutting it and putting on a new blade connector? | ||

I ended up cutting the top of the semi-rigid plastic sheeth covering the blade plug to squeeze it out the top of the housing - bumper removed. | ||
