no solution yet, for now the pipe pliers work so im not pressed to find a solution

cyronman... i was thinking that about the lights in the rear... problem is that the light assemblies are about 1" deep, so they would stick out quite a bit and look kind of awkward imho... pilot does make low profile led bars though.. i think they are 15" for $20 so that would probably work nicely in addition with tones popper kit (which includes the pin switch)
