Okay, looks like the back of the light socket doesn't come off. You should have a rubber connector on the other end of the wire going through the hole. Sometimes they're hard to disconnect so be patient and work a small screwdriver around it. Spray some silicone lubricant to make it easier.

Yea I thought so, I was going to try and pry on the "lip" but then i found this under some electrical tape, im guessing that's not the connector you are talking about HAHAHA...BTW, is that how its supposed to be wired?

Looks like you'll just have to rewire. Here's what mine looks like.
