Full Version: Brake/tail light connectors

I have a wire that has broken from metal end that slides into the white connector that plugs into the light socket for the rear tail light/brake light bulb holder. It's a pain in the ass to pull the individual pin and reconnect the broken wire. Anybody have a source for new white connectors that may have short wire leads to splice into?

My Cycle Gear store had these, I'm guessing they are for adding LED turnsignals...

Motrax Parts

I had already cut my stock turnsignals up to use those connectors... so I didn't buy them, but they might address your needs... they are about $5 too, so not bad...

Well I decided to go down a differnet route, bought some emgo twin fillament bulb holders that came in 4 pack for 8.99 that had fairly long leads. I cut off the plug ends on both the bike and new bulb holders and just had to file out the Tail lamp assembly to the bulb holders would twist into place. The factory plugs are a bitch to remove and like I said I have had several wires eventually break as they go into the connector.
