Yepp thats what I was thinking. Either that or I could use colored heatshrink, or I could just trim all the wires real short and solder on the proper colored wires. Yes, I hate these pins that much...

This is what makes me want to try again with a harness purchased elsewhere. The harness I got this time was not in any packaging at all and the ends of the wires weren't pre-crimped like I've seen in most pictures here. Makes me wonder if I just had bad luck and got a shitty harness. Cause its not like I dont know how to remove the pins, some just freaking refuse to come out even though I SEE the retainer clip pushed all the way up and against the top of the connector =.=
