Simply remove a tiny bit of the insulation, line up your exposed wire inside the vampire connector, and squeeze with pliers. Done! Wrap it in electric tape for added water resistance and you're good to go. Very sturdy. Adding OEM connectors is unnecessary. If you really wanted to add a y-splitter you could create one with extra wire and spade connectors, but that's way more time-intensive. |

And you are completely wrong about "the only reason" to buy them: most people do not want to splice or modify their existing wiring to connect AFTERMARKET devices. Therefore, you need enough to make Y-cables with male and female parts as well as making connectors on the aftermarket part. I have an integrated tail light and an undertail. This required connectors for the brake light, tag light, 2x rear turn signals in brake light, 2x rear turn signals in undertail, 2x Y-splitters (or 4x if I retained my stock signals or added stalk signals), LED flasher relay, and so on. If I added LEDs at the front, I'd need more for the signals and diode mod. That is a lot of connectors in order to avoid cutting any OEM wiring. Quote:

For the tail light itself, you may need the smaller side of the 3-position .110 connector. My integrated tail didn't need one, but that's all you should need if you do. As an alternative to a Y-splitter on the flashers, if you're keeping the OEM stalks in place, you could try this. No cutting, crimping, splicing or soldering and completely removable. However, if you swap out the OEM hardware later, you'll need to change things around.

P.s. The only reason for more OEM connectors is to connect to OEM connectors, inherently this is true haha, cannot use one without the other. Additionally most quality aftermarkets (plug and play), i.e. integrated tails or led rear turn signals, re-use or provide oem connectors. So there's no reason to splurge on a whole bunch of additional connectors. ? LED flasher relay? don't be silly, that requires no additional connectors Quote:
This has been fun, but it seems we're getting nowhere. My offer stands of extra connectors to anyone else, but I'll keep my further opinions to myself. No reason to argue more. |

Mine did. It needed one extra connector for ground. I could have gotten a all-in-one three-pole connector intended for a headlight and an OEM Y-connector to plug the ground into the wiring harness, but I used my own spade terminal and ring terminal to ground to the frame. |
