Thumbs up Installing new lamps

Anyone know how to install the wires on the back of the headlights? I bought two new facelift lamps but I am not sure how the wiring would go.

I cant get the old lamp out!!! I unscrewed the screws on top of the laps but their LITERALLY STUCK from the bottom. I tried using force but its as if the headlights are glued to the front bumper or something...im hating my car right now cuz i got these facelift headlights and their doing me no good in the trunk.....HELPPPPPPPP...is their some releasing mechanism for the headlights?? its a 97 audi a4 quattro 2.8...

yes. there's a tab thats connected to the corner(seperate from the main headlamp) that releases the corner from the car, release it, unplug it, then the remaining screw becomes apparently visible. just play around in there. it took me like 3 minutes to accidentally find it
