Take a Dremmel with a thin cut-off wheel and cut the plastic off the connectors. You will be able to re-use them most of the time, just clean them up and insert into the new connector.

Re: Plug replacement
Ok thanks, really didn't think anyone would need to cut off and install new prong connectors , Clean and a mild squeeze to the female connector , Also found a nice Vid to help pull the prongs out for anyone trying to figure out removal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE-hRjrLuyQ

And, be certain to cover everything with a generous amount of dielectric/silicon grease before connecting things.

Looks like you've been shopping at www.cycleterminal.com! Gotta love those guys.
If you are keen to keep the OEM look, use a thick bright red 'Sharpie' permanent marker pen and 'colour in' all over the exterior of the white plastic housing so it becomes red, just like your original.
Works a treat and looks good too. Hard to pick from OEM then.
