wait wait wait.
The wires are already tapped?
What?
and the plastic is hard, seems like you're going to break it at first. but it pops off straight up.
I don't get it, are you trying to remove the lights or install them or what? because it sounds like the previous driver installed them and you are trying to undo it?

ohh Okay i see. Well if you can't get the plastic off, you could always cut the wires going coming out of the lights, and then get some new wire, and wire taps or vampire clips and attach those to the parking/headlights and then get some wire caps to attach the new wires from the parking light/headlights to the old cut wires. produces same result.
If you don't want to do that. You can give the plastic another try. I put some pictures up, they suck, I got them from the install instructions so how to wire them like yours are currently. But hopefully this helps.

My pleasure. If you have any other problems let me know. I assume you already know, but the wire for parking and headlight power is the one coming form the white 52 pin connector directly under the steering wheel, it is a red and yellow wire.
Good luck!
P.S. you have A LOT of really nice cars.
