2008 GS - Tail Lite Connectors

[JerryB]

Hi folks,

I have been removing & re-installing the tupperware at the rear where the tail lites are mounted quite a bit lately.

While doing this a few times, I concluded that getting the two each waterproof back together was just a b****.

So I decided to improve things.

I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/Huicocy-Waterproof-Electrical-Connector-Marine/dp/B01DILSJ0A

Here are the before & after photos of the new connectors.







I also used these same connectors when I installed the Driving Lites to the sides of my frunk. They allow me to disconnect the Driving Lites whenever I remove the frunk.

Just thought some of you might be interested is this change,

Hi Dave,

Re: I know I'll be getting these!

If I were doing it again I would add a little more ( ~ 4" ) of wire so that there is a little more slack when finished. Mine work fine as is but I always like a little extra wire whenever I can add it.

I'll be using them on my bag lights so they can be disconnected easily for removal.
There's a good bit of slack so should be no problem
Had been thinking about doing a search for something like this. And now I don't have to.
Already ordered.

Just a heads up if you dont need extra length , you dont have to cut the wires, just disassembly the single plugs and reassembly the leads to the double plugs. Clean. And maybe a weee bit lighter
