You have to use two very small screwdrivers and pry the other part of the fuse box off the housing I think. I think there is a very detailed "How To" somewhere on this.

Getting that damn box off is by far the hardest part of this mod.

When I did it there wasn't enough slack in the wires to pull it up, so although all the tabs were unhooked, I couldn't pull the part that had all the wires in it up. I ended up taking the bolts off that hold the whole housing to the car so I could drop that part down while pulling up on the section with the wires. And even w/that it was still pretty tight.

Definitely the hardest part is getting the relay box apart. Just gotta pull like hell.
