Not! The guys at Comp USA looked at me like I was making shit up.

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

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...

Dude, try a paperclip, works best for me on computer molex plugs, you should be able to squeeze it between the plastic and the pin, and shove the tab down.

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.

Violin · 10-04-2006, 11:37 AM

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.

Thanks - I already looked at mine.

Like this right?

Do you think that tool I posted earlier will do the trick?

Teruyume · 10-04-2006, 04:07 PM

i didn't used any tool to take out the wires i just used sidecutter and destory the old connector lol...........

the rest of the stuff is easy just plug into the correct hole and plug into the light

Teruyume · 10-04-2006, 04:09 PM

Still waiting for customs to release the right side to CanadaPost so they can deliver it.

In fact, we had to pay a total of $16 for handling fee for this EMS shipment...

Revenue Canada is making good money on this group buy!

The offer still stands on joining the Union.

riceboy · 10-04-2006, 10:19 PM

Looks wicked, I'm so jealous......... I wish I had an Orange Copper Mica so that my tails would already be installed too....

Hopefully I'll get my tails by Thursday afternoon, and installed by Friday.
