Need Weather Pack Connectors Recommendation For Wiring Lights

[Brad Fx]

While installing the Baja Design Pocket Fog Kit, I lost the connector clamp where you connect the harness to the Bronco wires.

Can someone recommend a small pack of these from Amazon I can use as a replacement? Or even better if I can pickup locally, e.g., Auto Zone, Advance Auto or O’Reilly Auto Parts.

Pic below of where I’m connecting.

Probably not as fast as you would want but I bought mine on ebay and you can get single pin and can order small amounts.

I use these on motorcycle, work great, especially quick fixes, and available at stores https://www.posi-products.com/

Or Amazon.

Amazon has weather pack connectors and pins/barrels but can be a bit more than other sources. Quick ship v price. I went the eBay route since no rush.

I prefer a more permanent connection with the (no-crimp) heat-n-solder style connectors. I believe these sealed solder are far superior to exposed mechanical connection. And then I also slip over a shrink wrap tube over these as well for extra protection. We use them in the aircraft industry.

The nice part about using the weather pack connectors (or similar) for the Aux wiring connections is you can easily change which Aux switch controls which device later without having to cut wires and crimp or solder.

i do electrical for a living. 10 years in automotive style wiring and 7 doing computer controls. We used weatherpacks during my first 10 years of my career. We had great luck with them and that's what i'll be using for my wiring jobs under hood just in case i need to take them back apart and ease or using them. I've got a bunch of single and double weatherpacks that i got from Amazon. Use a little dialectic grease on them and you should be good to go.

What’s the correct crimping tool for these types of pins? The few times I’ve used them I just crimp with my needle nose lol.

Something like this. Just search for Weather Pack crimper.

This particular style works really well and takes the guessing out the process. It crimps the wire part and weather seal in one action. Also make sure you get a good quality terminal removal tool. I brought a cheap one and it broke within a couple uses and then had to go buy one at my local auto zone store. The good one was made by Lisle and it allowed for removal of both male and female terminals. See below

O'Reilly's also carries these, but can be hit or miss whether they're in stock at any given store.

Shit, that tool makes it easy. My wife is going to freakin kill me if I buy one more tool or mod.

also looking to get the right kit/tools. i have a light bar and 4 d series pod lights. Im also going to be getting the 4 pin wiring harness setup, a winch, air compressor, and perhaps more fogs.
Im looking for simple connectors that can tap into a single wire and basically create a T joint, maybe a type of connector/crimp/thing that can bring 3 wires together. any way i can avoid stripping, soldering, wire nuts, and heat shrinking tubing while still getting a sealed joint. Obviously need the right gauge hardware for all the different devices. ive heard of waytek as an option but i just dont know what to get.
