Connector for a Hyster Forklift tail light

I have a Hyster forklift that the back tail light got ripped off. When this happened the 6 pin wire connector was puled from the wire and then ran over by the forklift. I have the light in stock but I am having a hard time identifying the connector. I ordered a imf deutsch connector from Grainger but it is not correct. I have looked at drawings for several Deutsch connectors they look like what is on there but the sizes doesn't match. Does anyone know what connector Hyster is using?
Here is a link to the light:

Here is two photos of the connector that I am trying to identifying. This is the one for the other tail light that for now is still intact.

It would be a lot less expensive and you'll end up with a better connection if you buy the connector parts in stead of a complete pigtail

Deutsch is owned by TE Connectivity, that looks like a DTM connector

I also thought it was a Deutsch DTM connector but when you pull up the drawing of the housing on TE Connectivity website the plug is 19.20mm wide that is to large to plug into the light. The connector can only be 14mm wide. I order the CE6356F that Mechanicsville804 recommend. I will report back if it is correct.

The receptical is 19.2mm wide:
DTM04-6P

The plug that goes into it is 15.24mm at it's widest part but the part that plugs in is narrower than that:
DTM06-6S
