22 montesa 301 wiring

Hi all might be a daft question but didn’t want to start cutting/ disconnecting wires late at night. Simple job of headlight off to put a number board on, followed the two wires red and black from the light to under the tank (presumed I’d find a connector to just take a part) found the connector under a waterproof cover but seems to pick up a green wire ? Now just wondering what you disconnect to remove the front light ? Didn’t want to cut the wires any help ?

It can actually be pulled right from the back of the light and then you can tuck the wire under the tank or behind the new number board without having to go all the way back to the next connector.  I don't 'remember exactly how its held on off the top of my head but it has a round white ceramic type connector if I recall correctly.  (for heat control)

You should be able to trace the headlight wires back to the connector in the rubber boot in the headstock area and simply disconnect it. I'm struggling to remember but I think it involves some unplugging of the other two connectors in the area and replugging them directly, so where you had a loop out for the light its now gone. What was three connecting points becomes two. There's only one way they can go. I think either the kill lanyard and/or map switch are linked in at this point.

Sorry I'm a bit vague but there's certainly defo no wire cutting involved.
