How to remove Centre Rear panel between the lights

Hello,
Had a look and could not find other information on this, I am trying to remove my rear bumper and part of that is removing the centre trim. Its a 91 G Limited
 
I have undone the four screws from inside the boot and the two on top at the end of the lights but it looks like there are two plugs holding it on in the centre.
 
Can't find any information anywhere everything I read says undo the bolts and screws and take off. Can some tell me how to remove it?
Cheers

    The two center ones are clips they usually break

    You have to remove the lights first though as otherwise the center panel will not come ou

    hope that helps

    I recommend putting a towel on top of the bumper when removing the centre garnish, so you don't accidentally scratch the bumper when pulling the centre garnish off the clips.

    All good, just a bit of gentle force without breaking the plugs holding it in.
