Default Anyone know how to pop out the metal contacts in the rear taillight clips.

I want to swap two of the leads (without cutting the wires) and the easiest way would be to slide the metal contacts out of the carrier clip and re-insert them. Has anyone done this before? TIA

Default I wish to do the same thing, and I can't pull the leads either

I wanted to turn teh rear fogs into brakes, the brakes into rear fogs, but parking would still be normal(as would blinker) I just wanted the brakes to light up a different spot than the parking (ppl don't notice your brake lights on as much if the spot is already lit up a little(especially in the daytime) What were you planning on doing?

Default it can be done with a metal "dental pick". You can get them at the Rat Shack...

look in the section with all the soldering tools.

Default My dad's a dentist :) I'll just steal the pick I stole from him and gave to my girlfriend.

I'll probably get to it tomorrow night and let you know if it worked. Thanks Ritz, I hope it works.
