DIY Clear Lights

Hey guys, did a DIY clear front and tail install tonite with my girlfriend. Took much longer than expected (I really suggest using a socket wrench like in the DIY section suggests.. we didn't have one so we used the BMW supplied wrench..yech).

Anyways, front lights went smoothly.

Taillights gave us a lot of trouble though because of the bolts and the lack of a socket wrench.

Finally got everything done but one thing is wrong and I'm hoping someone on this board can help me out?

In the LAST stage of the taillight installation, you're supposed to hook up electricity back up to the trunk light panel. I did that, but the problem is, I can't get that sucker to snap back into its proper place!

We tried for a while to force it back in to no avail.

These are BMW OEM taillights so compatibility shouldn't be an issue. Any sugesstions or tips?
