Default need help with electrical connection for T Light High Beam

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to electrical things and i'm stumped on connecting the wires for my T Light. The instructions say "Insert the black wire spade connector to the brown GND wire. The positive red larger spade connector goes into the angled white wire connector." This is the connector for the brown and white wires. Do i have to pull the brown wire out of the plastic connector? For the life of me i can't figure out how to get the brown wire out.

I recently ran into the same thing when installing the T Light package. I ended up snipping the brown wire off that connector, stripped it back and twisted on to the spade connector. Used some heatshrink tubing to hold in place. Worked out fine but know I need to find a better permanent solution.

Did you find a solution? I started installing the high beam today and have just run into the same issue...

I just had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. I communicated with Tore, and the only two solutions are either cut the wire off of the connector or put a T-Tap on the wire.

I ended up cutting the wire and crimping the female spade connector piece. I purchased a wire crimper and a box of connectors from Harbor Freight for around $20.
I had never done any wire splicing before but it was fairly easy. The whole process took 5 minutes.


This is the piece I used (1/4" Female Connector).




Cut the brown wire.




Using a wire stripper, strip the end of the wire.




Insert the female piece into the stripped wire and crimp it.


End Result.
