I was just trying to keep the unit intact. I have no particular problem sticking in a different connector.

The little tabs that clip into the hood are slightly different, but remarkably close to the original. Only about 1/16" difference. I was able to bend them just enough to hold securely. All in all, not a bad outcome considering.

I guess you have the connector because you still have the old lights with the old connector right? Why not just buy the metal pins and cut the other one off and use the plastic part again?

They look like a type of Molex connector to me, but they are unmarked. Center-to-center appears to be 5mm.

I'm attempting to replace a couple of LED range hood lamps that are no longer made with something that comes close. The ones I found are very close to the right size, and right voltage, but they use the female version of this plug instead of the male version. If I can find matching plugs/sockets, I can just fab a pigtail, and I won't have to Frankenstein it (too much).
