    Front Blinker Connector Pins

    Am I the only guy struggling to get these connection pins into the front blinker plugs? They seem to be to big to get in. Any help is appreciated.

    You have made sure the pins are in the correct orientation, with the cutout (on the metal part) in the same direction as the key in the plastic connector?

    I was able to get them in and locked with minimal effort.

    Either they sent me the incorrect pins or I used the correct ones on another plug. I found two that fit so I will have to get some more.

    Thanks.

    Jason,

    When I tried to install my pins I found out I got 11 wrong ones and 1 right one for the front. I called FFR and they sent me new ones for free.

    Looks like I have the same problem. I bought my kit second hand from someone who got it around 2014 so probably low chance of getting a freebie. I'll call FFR tomorrow but does anyone have a part number of the correct pins for the old style headlight blinker connectors? I talked to them earlier this week about another missing part for the old front end and they acted like they had limited or no info or availability on parts specific to the old kits.

    In case anyone else ends up in the same spot, it was cheaper/easier to just buy a generic Toyota blinker pigtail off of ebay than to source those pins not in bulk. I did that and it worked great.
