Paper clip......push it in from the front (opposite end of wires) and up. Theres a tab that engages the plastic.....not alot of pressure needed. take your time and dont force anything. I use a piece of sand paper and sanded a little bevel on the end of the paperclip. Kinda of like a little wedge. Oh yeah, push the wire forward a little and then push the paperclip in, then pull wire out. Confusing I know but it is possible.

I used a long rather large guage sewing needle. I could feel the tip of the needleengage in the clip and the wire popped right out , no problems.
I tried a paper clip first but couldn't get it under the plastic clip.
Good luck.

RE: Turn signal plug?
thanks for that great link Mud - been wondering what those little bastards look like inside. Do you have any tips on crimping without the $200 tool on molex/deutsch/amp connectors. Looking to do some headlight wiring soon and want to use OEM connectors but don't want to spend $$$$ on a specialty crimper. Thanks.

++ on the paper clip for molex. Amp connectors I used a dental pick, but picks diameter too big for the molex so used the paper clip method. I think some stiff mechanics/safety wire will work well too.

a couple weeks ago when I replaced my bars.
I took a bunch of pictures of the crimp tool,
as well as a similar explain on the Deutsch connectors.

Don't let me forget to put the crimp tool in the Under 50,
I haven't had time, but I do need to find some.
