    Having a little trouble...

    Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble here and would appreciate some assistance.

    I'm trying to rebuild my reverse light wiring but can't seem to get started. Any suggestions? I can't find these connectors for sale anywhere, nor have I been able to get the pins out of the connectors to rebuild. Any help?

    Here's a pic of the wiring:

    I would buy a new harness, but that's just me. I'm sure you'll get the help you need here!

      Are you talking about the entire wiring harness? I'm sure it needs to be done, but don't have time for that.

      Would also prefer to build my own wiring as the factory wiring seems inadequate for this application. They used regular unstranded wire with simple insulation even though it is a high temperature area.

        The reverse light pigtail is separate from the harness and is not that expensive from the dealer...around 40 bucks. I bought one a couple months ago.

          Concours? Then get the dealer stuff. Just wires inside a loom and fancy heat shrink connectors would work just fine. Used wiring from the junkyard or a part out would be my route, but that's just me.

            Can somebody point me in the direction of where to buy the pins/connectors?

            I don't even know the size as I can't find them on RealOEM.
