Default Saddle bag support removal

Just bought a 2002 Super Glide, It came with Saddle bags which I have removed. The problem I am having is removing the Saddle Bag supports. They are connected through my turn signals and I cant see a way to disconnect the turnsignals. Do I have to splice or are there connectore in the tail light area?
Any Ideas?

I am not sure about he SUperglide, but I would expect the Turn Signal connections to be in the taillight area...

Looks like Im going to have to buy OEM bolts to replace the long ones put in by the last owner.
Thanks for the info, Will check for the quick connectors on the tail light.

Went to the dealer, Had to buy 4 bolts and 2 airfoils. Looks like the Prev owner had replaced the fiols with round studs. Will let you know how it turns out. Of course i didnt get out the door with buying a little more chrome.

Going to have to take the plugs off as well, heard you can reuse them if removed properly. Any ideas before I ruin the clips
