03 LS430 - Broken Tabs on Lamp Connector
Hello,
I had a "Taillamp Failure" message for a while that I recently fixed today. It was not immediately obvious which bulb was burned out so I resorted to pulling each one individually and testing the resistance with my ohmmeter. Finally got it, but in the process broke the locking tabs off of one of the connectors while removing it.
The connector in question is circled in the attached photo. It is on the passenger's side at the rear of the car on the cluster of lights on the trunk. It's the top smaller light. I attached it back with duct tape as a temporary fix, but I'm wondering whether I should replace the connector.
Does anyone know where I can get a new socket?

Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the liner attached to the trunk lid? I see locking tabs,but it's not clear how to remove these without breaking them.
