This is one tiny 2 wire connector, anyone know the make and part number perhaps?
Thanks in advance

Those look like in-line JST connectors. DigiKey carries them. They come in a variety of sizes. The problem with them is that you will need the crimp tool to go with it (to attach the wires) and they're not cheap.
You can buy cheap crimpers for those JST or Hirose connectors in the low $80.00 range. there are several drawbacks to that connector including the fact that they are really used for assembled modules and NOT as a readily and easily removable, robust device for the experimenter as they are rather fragile as well. They were meant to plug and essentially forget type of connector... IMO
I used them once in the devices I made and only because it would have cost more to replace them with the connectors "normally" used in my production devices. They were a pain to use as well.

A little off-topic but I have been using these for powering boards and they have worked very well for me:

I just have the two-terminal ones.

You didn't specify why you were interested in this information. However, for the reasons Doc mentioned you should probably avoid using these connectors whenever possible. A better alternative for general tinkering/hacking use would be header type connectors with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, examples here. For most of these type of connectors you don't really need any tools beyond a soldering iron and/or a pair of miniature pliers. The also tend to be a bit cheaper than the pluggable type JoeN is talking about, although if you don't mind the slightly higer price pluggables work well in a lot of situations.
Thank you for all the replies.
Background info:
The wire/connector is a part of LED product we purchased.
From this photo
Lets call the wire from left a header cable (upper cable) - It is an open end for you to solder to anywhere
Lets call the wire from right a housing cable (lower cable) - It goes the LED light
Since we want to hook this LED to a circuit board, we will dump the header cable entirely and connect LED light to PCB. We are checking if there is a thru-hole or SMT version of similar header that we can use on the circuit board. Thus asking for anyone familiar with this connector for make and part number.

You should be able to find an appropriate board mountable JST connector from a major supplier like Digikey. However, depending on how often you plan to unhook the LED from the PCB, you still might want to replace the JST connector on the wires going to the LED. For example you could use this connector on the PCB, and this one on the LED wires.
