Wanted: Taillight wiring harness connector In short, I need 2 of the connectors like the one in the pic below (with some wire on them). They are from the turn or brake signal of a newer style f-body, I assume they are all the same.
Let me know if you have an old useless wiring harness lying around. Thanks.

On my car at least, the turn signal bulb is 2-stage, like the brake one for example (needs 3 wires input and has 2 different intensities). However, there are only 2 wires going in, and I need to get a 3rd one there. The reason I need that is because I'm converting the taillights to the 93-96 style, which look better IMO.

I was at O'Reilly's and they didn't have what I was looking for. I don't need the actual socket, I need the wire and the little metal termination at the end x2.
The 3 wire sockets they had don't look like the oem ones and would require wire cutting, and I'd rather not...

What I did was crimp the factory harness to the new wires with an unsheilded butt splice and used heat shrink to protect it and make it strong enough to withstand the tail light housing hanging by it.
I bet you are gonna have a hard time finding that specific terminal connector ...

It's not like I'm in a huge hurry or anything, maybe I'll find someone parting out a car or with a shorted wiring harness.
Lights are all good and everything, it's just that all 3 compartments in the back should be lit when you have the lights on, and right now only 2 are. Not that big of a deal IMO.
