Default HID Headlight Disassembly

I'm sorry to do it, but after searching with no sucess I see no other option. Most likely I am retarded and am missing something obvious but here goes.

I purchased some used HID headlight housings from a member on the board, and am attempting to swap the electronics from the old to the new. My issue is how do I get the harness for the HID Bulb out of the housing? The plug is too large to pull through the inside of the headlight housing and out of the ballast port hole on the bottom of the headlight. Any help with the issue would be most appreciated. I'll take some pictures later to better explain what my issue is.

Default Definately Retarded

Not that anyone cares,but here was the issue. When my original headlights made contact with a deer at 70mph it must have damaged the internals of the headlights(go figure) making it much more difficult to remove the D2R plug from the housing. The solution was to turn the reflector adjustment screws all the way down to move the reflector enough to snake the plug out. Putting them in the new headlights was far easier. So to make a long story short, I am retarted... just let this post die, and act like it never existed.
