I always use seperate pinheaders and tape when I can't find the correct connector. Simple and it always works as good as a connector.

Maybe not what you are looking for but is does the job.
 
Molex is a brand.

Looked through all molex that have a 3mm pitch as well as TE Connectivity.

Just inserting wires or bear pins wont do as i am making a thing for a car and want it to be secure.

I realise that having used hundreds of them.

If you can't find the matching connector why don't you just buy a pair M/F that's suitable for you.
 
Nope.avi

Those are your standard headlight/sidelight connectors.

It seems this connector is a custom thing for my car.

I cant even find something that comes close.

Why can't you go to a junkyard and snip one from another car? Then solder and heat shrink the pigtail ends to the existing wires in your car.

Unless there's some underlying reason you can't, I would definitely go this route. If you can't match one half, change both.

I need about 10 since it is a brake light i am making
