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.

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
