Hi All,

This may be a stupid question, but me and cars dont go together laugh

Basically a while back ordered a new LED break light as most of the bulbs when I picked up the Monaro has seen better days.... got a replacement from Monkfish and went about fitting it yesterday, now is there a way to get the wires out of the connector shown in the picture or would it be easier to cut and get a replacement for my new light? if so where can I get one? I did try and google but nothing looks similar and Im sure it will be a generic electrical connector.



Any help would be much appreciated

You'll have to use the upload image in compose/reply page, photobucket changed their system and no photos hosted on there are hot-linkable now without you paying for it.
As for the connector, I can't find a stock photo, but you shoud be able to unplug it. Even if you've got to stick a small screwdriver in it to release.

This is the connector I think your looking at.
That looks like the beauty... not having a fun time trying to stick a small screwdriver in and releasing frown I dont want to apply to much pressure as the connector is starting to bend

So, your replacement light has a different connector ( socket ) ? I'm presuming that the connector in the photo is attached to the car ?
So.... the new light doesn't have a connector just the cables so I need this connector to attach those cables and then plug back into the main loom on the car, but the wires wont come out easily so I was wondering if I could buy that connector anywhere or keep trying to pries it out?

How did you get on ?
sorry for the late reply! Yep all done and looking good, in the end I just chopped both ends and electrical tape, but have decided to put a chocolate block on smile
