upgrading headlight wiring

OK, I've gotten all the stuff...relays, wire, terminal lugs,etc to upgrade my headlight wiring and I can't see how to "pop" the connectors out of the lamp socket without breaking something. Will someone please clue me in?

Never mind...I figured it out...for anyone else, remove the soft, rubbery thingy that holds the wires in place in the rear of the socket. Peer in there and you'll notice a springy section of plastic protruding into the contact area. That little burger keeps the contact in place. using something smallish depress that springy thing-a-jig while pulling gently on the wire connected to the contact. With a little wiggling, it'll "pop" out for you.

Are you making your own set up, or did you buy a up graded harness?
