Elz8462 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi all, swapping lupo lights onto my mk2 arosa and I cannot for the life of me get the pins out the connector. I've folded back the little cover, i've tried a tiny screwdriver to wiggle the wires, i've tried gently hammering the screwdriver behind the wires.. nothing is shifting, i've been trying for ages now. It is infuriating.Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 You're a chick, you have a pair of small nosed tweezers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elz8462 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Tried my tweezers but they're not thin enough to fit all the way down either side of the pin. I basically need to just find something small enough to fit either side of the pin and pinch together and it should release right?

Elz8462 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Might have to look into buying some really thin tweezers if I can find any..These proper tools would do wouldn't they? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191256004127?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Edited July 22, 2014 by Elz8462 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little red devil Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 i used a paper clip opened out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elz8462 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Is a paperclip strong enough to grip them though when you pinch them? And is it best to go through underneath like in your pic? I reckon a pointed pair of tweezers could grip them underneath like that. I have heard people mainly going down the sides to pop them out so have been trying it like that. Didn't know if that'd damage anything going from underneath?

little red devil Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 like you have you tweezers just push a paper clip in one side at a time and it pushes the clips down then pull wire out of the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
