Does anyone know of a vendor who sells these connectors so I do not have to buy an entire harness?? I could then splice in and heat shrink the splice...or follow whatever tip(s) the folks here might know of. If there is another approach that can work well (this is not a show car), that would be appreciated. Thanks.
