Default Electrical help

Hey, What are the electrical connectors called on these year harleys. The new ones are called Molex connectors etc. I am trying to do some wiring repair and remove the pins from the connectors. Having a hard time figuring out where on the connector to push to depin the connector. Tail lights specifically. Can't find anything on youtube or internet to show the correct way on these early bikes and its been awhile for me. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

pin connectors are the very later early bikes and they make tools for that - they slide over the top of the pin and squeeze the retainer in so the pin slides out of the plastic connector

flea bay pin remover and the china junk will be by the thousands - or snap on
