How to release the pins inside this fog light connector?

BOSSBMW · 02-20-2011, 07:11 PM

I decided to start a new thread since no one bit on my last one with no pic. Anyway here goes.

Need to unclip 1 and 2 from this connector and clip into new connector for m-tech upgrade.

how do i release the pins from the connector?

i have mangled one of the pins on the connector, are they replaceable? or any ideas to fix this?

EDIT: is this the correct clip replacement? #8

bump again...

I got the whole connector assembly from ECS, but can't get the wires out. Are they one time clip in and you have to cut the wire to remove and add a new connector end #8 like the link you posted?

I ended up cutting the wires out carefully with a dremel
