license plate light connector removal

I have an 03.5 c230 and looking for help to remove the connector where you put the bulb for the license plate. I'm trying to put a reverse camera system and the only hole I can use is one of the license plate light connector, and tried prying it out of the hole but it would not budge out of that tiny hole.....tried looking at all the treads new and old but there is none available; so I need HELP !!! desperately. thanks in advance

U need to remove the license plate cover on the trunk. This requires removing the pins on the trunk liner, unscrewing the trunk latch, and the license plate cover pops off. Once removed you can easily pop the license plate connectors out.

Question pull out or push in?

I took offall the pins for the trunk liner and unscrew the screws from the lights as if I'm removing the bulb and that's it I cant push it in or pull it out! I unplug the cable from inside and there is these pastic lock that you squeeze and on the other side there is another that looks like an anchor that I can not budge it in or out???

You have to give the plastic a good squeeze to get them out. You squeeze and push the connector.
