I did run into a licensed electrician at Radio Shack who directed me to an electrical supply house or alarm supply place. |

AH crap..
Ok guys, I didn't have the proper tool to remove the female molex pins. I tried to use screwdrivers, needles, hair pins, anything flat and solid but I couldn't get them out. So I couldn't install the light today. I will have to delay the half ass installation for a few days.

Word of caution regarding molex extractors/removal tools:
- Make sure the tool you purchase can remove SMALL pins - Standard molex extractors for computer molexes will not work because the pin inside the Yaris molex is too small - The molex extractor must be able to fit over the female pin entirely so that it can push the clips down I think I'm going to destroy the stock molex plug with a razor blade and knife and extract them the sloppy way. Updates to follow...

Computer molex plugs are easy to pop since they're bigger. Since this one is smaller, it's a pain in the ass...

I haven't looked... are the pins round or square?
I'm taking the connector I got from japan for fit and going by an electrical supply house this morning. We might need to save our stock lights (and connectors) for inspection. |

Think this would work?
The electrical supply house didn't have one and the alarm supply shop only sells to the trades. I could have built my own space shuttle easier than getting all the parts I need to install these lights. |

Like this right? Do you think that tool I posted earlier will do the trick? |

Right on, that's exactly it.
The tool you posted earlier might just work. The forks look slim enough to squeeze in between the molex slot and the molex pin. I am still going to try to use house hold items/tools to get them out.
