Default Re: parting out 2005 SRT 6 convertible

Thank you. I will be more careful next time. These connectors are made from brittle plastic. I have another burnt out headlight to replace now. So I'll see if I can do it this time without cracking the connector.

UPDATE:
I made a Bulb Removal Tool from some hose pliers and 1/4 inch plastic tubing. It works well to remove the headlight connectors without putting too much pressure on them and cracking them.



These are the pliers. They are a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh® - item#37909.



This shows the 1/4 in aquarium tubing.
It is fairly soft, and doesn't cause as much damage to the connector as bare metal.
