Sersiously, this saves me TONS of time.
BTW, NSX, WTF (J/k), why did you have to get the replacements?

I forgot that you were an optometrist! Shoulda paged you and asked about this.
Yeah, I was worried that I would have to shell out another 3 franklins, especially since I JUST got these.
The lens that came off is a little scuffed up on the edge that was attacehd to the frame, but I think it can be buffed / bevelled out.
Taking it by my local doctor today. Thanks for letting me know that they can in fact be fixed!!! <major sigh of relief>

for even ATTEMPTING to take any responsibility for this. SERIOUSLY, I'm like amazed. You have a good heart, Teddy, REAL good.
ALL THE MATERIAL, ALL THE INFORMATION was already in the archives. I READ YOUR POSTS! I knew about the tools! Dude, c'mon, you (and absolutecq) prepared me for this 100%!!!
No way man, this was ALL me. The path was shown to me and I just fell off in the ditch. You can lead a rehorse to water, but you can't make him hold the pin plug upright instead of upside down like an ***.
Anyway, seriously, thanks man. You're too much.
As for the purple locking bar, yeah, cut through that as well. I have the same "blue, yellow, and green" plugs, empty, that I will use instead of the black plug with lock bar. Unless, what you're saying, is that I will need the purple plug for that as well, in which case, well, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough!!!
Thanks again dude....

It should be very easy, and yes, I believe the Phatnoise comes with the wiring diagram.
They don't insert the wires into the connector so you can run it from the trunk to the front easier.
Should be a short job......or at least I think so.

I had the replacement connector, and not the pin removal tools. That's what led me to the idea of breaking the original connector apart, to get the pins, and use the new connector in it's place. That was the best plan I could come up with. Amazing, eh?
I've got all the pin / wire assignments mapped to the new plug (mapped the correct assignments before starting my hack job). I actually do this kind of crap a lot, working with computers, jumpers, switches, cable jacks, routing, etc. I just was over excited and didn't look at the orientation of that damn connector. Oh well.

Thanks man. Yeah, got the part numbers I need from CT and NSX below. You guys are all great!
I'll do as you say. While I'm at it, you gave me a good idea on how to save on my medical expenses (heh heh heh <followed by maniacal laughter>
