In Reference to: Duel headlight connector mods Can any one furnish info on who was manufacture of the connector and or who makes the proper removal tool? I tried the suggested methods and got two wires free, unable to get the yellow one out of the connector, to do the position swap.

It is an AMP Multilock connector. Here is what you are trying to unlatch (picture found online):

The "official" tool is a Snap-On TT600-3.
I found a picture online for your reference. The blade on the far right is the TT600-3:

Some other info about the blade on the tool that I found online:
- 15 mm long
- 1 mm thick
- 1 mm wide at the narrow end
- 3.4 mm wide at the wide end

Do you guys think this mod could possibly damage the bikeīs electrical system/circuit? I mean, could an extra headlight running together with the low beam cause the system to overload? I am really looking forward to doing this to my Uly but not sure if itīs safe.

It could possibly hurt the reflectors, headlight wiring, or switch, but it actually puts less strain on the voltage regulator and stator.
