My inside headlight connection plugs need rebuilt, but how do I get them out of the headlight bucket ? There is a metal tab stuck in the side of the connector barrel that apparently holds the connector in, how does this come out ?

 just learned this the other night while looking over mine. found a good Tech article from our friends at TFS: 1929-1936 Headlight Conduits & Wires"The socket in the headlight bucket is held in place by a bend-over tab. Bend the tab out and this allows the socket to be slid out."

gently and only enough to remove the socket
not back at 90 degrees, fatigue will win !!
