A good tip for wiring fog lights, etc.

Here a tip I've used for many applications, especially for things such as fog lights, etc.

To add a weather-proof connector to your wiring harness, consider a 2-prong flat electrical connector such as this one. It is NAPA part # 755-1598 and is used primarily as a trailer light extention.

It is a 12" loop with male/female connectors at opposite ends - $1.98.

Cut them in half. Splice/Solder, then heat shrink 1/2 to the wires on your lights, and the opposite half from the set to the wiring harness. This way, you can disconnect the lights easily if ever need to service radiator, remove bumper, etc. (Btw, pick is incorrect. Cut in half, you'll have color-matching male/female connectors)

I'm not sure you can buy weather-proof connectors alone for $1.98/side.

Hope some find this useful.

Cheers!

From the pic, it looks like using those connectors in that fashion would reverse polarity. ;-)

When ya doing front parking/turn signal LED's?
