Do t hey mke a tool for disconnecting headlights, etc.
The ones like in Toyota where you have to squeeze a tab on the harness and pull out bulb-connector.
Something like a pair of pliers.
I'rve done both my headlights without much trouble, but the fog light seems impossible to release, or at least release and pull out the bulb?
It depends on the design but sometimes you can wedge a small screwdriver behind the tab to hold it open while you pull out the cable. The right plier works too.
Followed by: SNAP....."Dammit!!"
That is where skill comes in. I have been pulling this type of plug for 50 years. You just pry it out enough to clear the tab on the receptacle, not bend it until it breaks. OTOH, since these are so hard to get loose in the first place, the locking tab is probably not necessary anyway.
Those dental tools you often see on the counter at hardware stores are handy for stuff like that.
At dental visits, I ask if they have any worn out or broken tools in their scrap box that I could have. Over the years, I've accumulated bunches of them- every imaginable size, shape, configuration. No matter what the job, I've got a tool with just about a custom fit!
That's a good idea. I wish I had started decades ago. (Now I'm supposed to be getting rid of things.) I do have a dental pick, and a plastic version of their mirror that I bought.
I should have a dentist appointment soon. I don't like it. I've been trying to figure out some way he can work on my teeth without getting so close to me, and without my taking my mask off.

Will that be perfected by the dentist that pulled a tooth while standing on a hoverboard? Think I'll take my chances with my flesh and blood dentist.
That sounds good. I'm sure there's a model that works at home.
