Wiring question
Do the wire connectors on the wiring harness for example the headlights pull apart or are those crimp connections?

Re: Wiring question

Re: Wiring question
Be sure to use dielectric grease when connecting those bullets. They oxidize very easily and easily loosen.

Re: Wiring question
If you have original wiring, they do pull apart. The connectors have a "spring loaded" sleeve with ridges inside to "lock" into the groove in the male connector and a rubber cover over the sleeve. Over the years, the rubber becomes very hard, and will sometimes make it difficult to pull the connector out of the sleeve. Dennis Carpenter has the wiring connectors in their catalogue.

Re: Wiring question
Thanks for the info. I have fog lights on my car now, the last guy tried to use them for directionals, will not work because they draw too much. I want to hook the fog lamps up for day time driving lights, when hooked direct to 6v they are bright. I want to use the parking lights inside the headlight cans for the directionals. Also want to put in led tail lights as well as a third brake light.
