How do you do this? Something about pulling a tan and blue wire from the passenger fuse box?
detailed help would be great!

pull a fuse inside the driverside fuse box, just a small fuse, look in your owners manaul to see which fuse to pull.

I'm pretty sure the fuse pull doesn't work on 02+ cars. I know that it has something to do with some wires but I'm not sure on the specifics. Wait for Blackarrow or someone to come around, they should know.

its just behind the panel you take off of the dash on the drivers side...

that was a terrible way to explain it... let me try again

When you open your door its the small panel on the side of the dash. There is a plug that you pull out of it, its towards the firewall, i believe.

It's practically right there when you take the little panel off. There's a huge heat sink attached to the module too.

This method worked on my 02 just fine. Best advice for you is to be patient -- that heat sink does not like to be disconnected so don't get angry and rip it out. Work at it carefully until you get it to willingly pull off.

That was by far the most frustrating thing ive done in a long time.
Theres NO WAY IN HELL that thing was coming off. I worked at it for like 20 minutes. that harness was gonna rip off.
I STILL couldnt get it off in fear that i would rip the whole thing out.
Apparently im missing a step or something because that car will fall apart before that stupid harness comes off.
Maybe its because its so cold out here?
Is there any way to make that harness come out easier?
Any advice would be great because im just having a terrible time with this.

Man, it was a PITA to get off. My hands were bleeding and that thing did not want to come off for nothing, so I went a got some plyers and yanked it out, but I think I pulled it all out and the seat went back to its normal position I guess which scared the hell out of me. But after like 25 minutes everything was working good and now I can put some aftermarket lights in there now since I don't have the DRL's, thanks everybody that responded to the post.

I dont know what those clips look like, or how to disconnect them. I just have no idea. This is the biggest pima. Is it that blue flat part? I could use some insight.

yea, its that blue plastic clip thats holding it together but to get to it better, go from under the dash and push the brake down for better access to it. But when i took the blue clip out, I damage it a little but i won't need it now anyways. Also my lights are a bit brighter a night since I don't have the DRL's, woo hooo.

Alright, im getting bits and peices of advice, now i know its the blue clip, are there any other clips holding the harness in? I still cant get the thing out. How do you get the clip out? mine wont move in any direction, and i cant figure out how that thing is in there.

I really need someone to come through with some answers on this. Ive seen that picture and the write up, but it just blatently says something like "disconnect from heat sink". and thats it. I'm looking for the HOW part. haha

Try compressing the black pronged part towards the connector with a small screwdriver, then wiggle the connector out.
