This sucks... my Baja designs fogs aren't working, they haven't since I installed the sensor. Fuses are still all good. don't know how this is related, but it must be.

Hey everyone so I had this same problem, but I have a solution. First, Find a sturdy paper clip and bend it like a small fish hook. Next you want to fish out the wires that connect to the back of your broken plastic. Then slowly guide the clip out in reverse (you may want to tape a mirror to your windshield to see plus a little led light). The clip gives less resistance in reverse. Continue using the paper clip until you are sure it's angled properly then use gentle force to pull it out with the paper clip hook.
Next, for those that didn't use electrical tape. The trick to remove this cheap sensor is to pull it up straight up. Pushing up at one angle will replicate my problem I and others have had on this thread (making you loose your head, literally). So use floss and wrap it around then whip it up like a noose. Good luck guys
