I don't really know what they are called. I thought maybe they were Packard Connectors (the male end) but what I have here in a bag "ain't it". What I am doing is adding a second light on the back of my truck - both sides. Hoping to make up a "Y" off the factory harness, add a few inches of wire, and feed both lights off the original equipment wiring. Without hacking up the harness...

Surely there are the rubber pieces and the metal inside so wiring repairs could be made?

They are right. There is just a rubber piece still stuck in that male end keeping it from plugging in

Wes,

I noticed - with a second look - that it looks a little rusty inside too? This truck came from the "land of salt and slag" and it appears that may be a problem.

I found them in 10-packs at a couple of the often recommended suppliers... Guess I was hoping for some sort of a bulk purchase price rather than a buck thirty-five each + shipping. Silly old me...

The ones in your link are now $42 for 20 (10 each male and female):oops:
Yep, saw that price increase too. I too need to replace at least all the m/f connectors on the front lighting, and figured id order 50+ of each, but i may go with a m/f covered spade or pin style connector instead and just liquid tape them
