Default Courtesy Light Switch Connectors?

I'm replacing the courtesy light switches in the forward door jamb. There are 2 very small connectors that plug into the switch and trying to remove them from the switches on the car is fruitless. Any idea where to source them? Other ideas?
Thanks!

Hello,
Typically the connectors are available from the same supplier as the switches.

Do some research before trying to attach the connectors (with the wire) to the strange looking switch. I recall ruining a couple of the connectors before investigating how they actually attach to the switches.

Hello,
r&b is correct!
When you push the connector in place on the switch that little 'bent tab' on the connector's tip locks the connector in place.
If you have one of those sets of 'jewelers tools' the tiniest screwdriver can be used to hold the tab closed so the connector can be pulled back out of the switch.
Regards.....

The 'tab', as best as I can tell goes to the outside of the switch. Ordered new connectors and will solder them onto existing leads.
