For the X connector, you have these choices:
a) Terminals with wire stubs from the X connector of a donor (junkyard) car. This is a sure bet, and each connector contains several usable parts.
b) Pigtails removed from a Metra 71-7992 connector. The 71-7992 has the advantage of being readily available, and each connector has eight of the small pigtails. The 7992 terminals don't snap smartly into the X connector the way the Honda part does, but they do work. You will have to file, cut, or fold over the tabs on the back of each terminal to make it fit into the X connector.
To remove terminals from the donor connector, gently press each wire in toward the front of the plastic shell to unload the locking tab, insert a tiny jeweler's screwdriver or equivalent from the front to compress the tab, and pull the wire out the back. (Illustration below is for a different connector, but the idea is the same.)
c) Pigtails from a dealer's kit if you can match them to the ones on the X connector.
d) Honda wire terminals, p/n 07JAZ-001360A. You will have to crimp a wire onto each terminal.
e) Tyco part 173681-6, referenced below. This is available in reasonable quantitites only by begging free samples from Tyco.
