Default Removing Front License Plate Filler

My front filler had the paint peeling problem around the video sensors. The replacement piece is here and I've found that the filler piece simply snaps off and on. However, the video sensors come with it. Does anyone know how to remove/disconnect the sensors ?

I'm hoping the sensors simply snap or twist on/off but I'm not too anxious to start pulling or twisting without some idea.

Thanks !... not sure what is meant by "remove air intake grill", but I think I can do this by just detaching the filler plate from the grill. There is not much slack in the sensor wiring but should be enough to get at the snaps holding the sensors in place.

This is only an option when removing front grille.
You have a enough length of wiring, you can remove sensor
