Default Help headlight removal..

Ok I'm replacing the do hickies for the fairing. Trying to disconnect the headlight so I can remove the fairing. Should be able to squeeze the tabs and pull apart..... Well that's not working and before I freak out and break something I thought I would come here for advice. So is there a trick to getting the light to unplug???
Thanks

It's a 3 prong plug that just unplugs.
Can't remember, but I don't even think there's squeeze tabs on it.

if you've got the fairing loose, just grab the wiring plug by the water boot and simply pull it off; nothing to squeeze or twist

You can also go at it from the front.
Take the chrome ring off, then take out the 3 screws holding the headlight in the fairing.
The headlight will fall out in your hands.
You might be able to get a better grip on the plug through the front hole?
Might be a little corrosion on the prongs that could be holding it back.
