Removing fog light power connector

How do I remove the front fog light's power connector? It doesn't seem to be the same as the parking or side lights where there's a levered clip. I tried pulling straight down on the connector but it didn't move.

Not sure you can. Bentley says:

Remove front fender lining
Release electrical connector from foglight bulb holder
turn bulb holder ...(out and up)

I see the electrical connector its a wire going into the base but it doesnt show if you can pull the wire out

Exactly. Bentley just says remove it but doesn't say how. I'll try giving it another go today.

You have to press the two side clips really hard and give it a side to side wiggle as you press.
Hope this Helps.

Thanks! I finally got it...I was pressing on the wrong part. It is like the connectors for the other lights. My Hella FF200 fog light kit is officially installed - tapped off the front foglights so they both go on when I flick the toggle switch.
