Be careful not to over tighten.
You asked for tech items under $10. Here's a few I can think of.
are you going to solder your cars harness into your square mount back side? and your reg red and white pin tools should do just fine. https://www.amazon.com/Jonard-AR-910672-Contact-Insertion-Extraction-Tool/dp/B00696252K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519604379&sr=8-1&keywords=red+and+white+pin+extraction+tool

Do you have a solder suckers or soldapullit? You will want one, it will make your life much much easier. I have desoldering a few boards with my Edyson Soldapullit.

Use flux liberally - get it in a pen, or a syringe dispenser.
Most solder suckers are junk. Spend a couple of extra dollars and get one of the Edsyn Soldapult models.
Personally, I've had good luck with desoldering wick. Try something like this:

40W should be fine for switches, unless there is something wrong with your iron/tip. Don't try to get/keep both leads hot simultaneously. The solder needs to be removed.
That depends on whether you have a Metcal station with hot tweezers. There's no MCPCB. The emitter is flowed directly on the driver, and trying to use hot air will probably send tiny capacitors flying.
The right-angle lights have an MCPCB and should be pretty sane. The only bad part is the press-fit bezel.
