I have not taken this particular connector apart before....so I can't tell you exactly how it works.
Most likely it is something like this:

I can't remember exactly how I took it apart. I think it works like you think it might. Just, a lot of persuasion and a strong screw driver.
Best regards,

I did actually try going at it from either direction and even trying other wires in the connector in case my angle was just not working, but all not no avail. I will try again, but maybe after some amber fluid aim straightener

I find that one of those steel strips from a wiper blade is just about perfect for popping the retaining clip to allow wires to come out of the connectors. It's about 1/8 wide and around .030 thick. Slips in easily. Push until it hits the back, pull out wire. Easy.

Big sewing needle inserted into the clip, not along the wire. Works every time.
And how many years have I been telling people to dielectric grease ALL wire connections, zip tie the thing together, and then heat shrink or wrap in old time fabric friction tape... Savages hate water with a passion. A heavy dew can destroy the entire system.

After letting it sit a couple days (didn't have time to try again after the frustration last time) I tried again to put a VERY small flat screwdriver (jeweler's size) into the plug end of the connector and pulled gently on the wire. Viola, the wire & connector end slipped out easily. Here are a few pics of the end in case anyone else needs to see what they are working with...
Now I just need to cut the last 1.5" or so off and splice in a new piece to put it back together.
Thanks for the help guys.

Is the wire broken internally.....or the connector just not making a reliable connection for some reason?

The wire feels too flexible right behind my fingers in that pic, so I'm pretty sure it must be broken. I couldn't see any reason why the connection in the bracket was not secure. Before I tore it down, I was able to get the headlight to light up by moving this wire back and forth.
On a side note, I plugged in the main black connector while the Orange/Red Stripe wire was pulled out and the bike would start, just without the headlight, so that makes me wonder about my first post and why the bike wouldn't start.
