    Hey just actually ran into this with my Baja Design Squadron Pro. Being a dumb bass I didn't check the polarity of the pins for the truck. There is a tool to release them but they usually come out damaged. Sometimes you can use the inside of a pen cartridge or a small straw. A couple of years ago I purchase some kits to make some connectors for a couple of projects. These are actually the same style of connectors that Baja Design Uses.

    You'll also need the crimp tool to go with it. Very simple if you can crimp a butt connector you can do this.

    I too did this on an install with one side. Found it easier and quicker to just cut the wires, flip, solder, and wrap.
