Mike'sHorseBarn 3,404 #1 Posted August 10, 2025 Why are these so expensive? $5 each hurts me for some reason. Does anyone know of an alternative?? These are used to connect the headlights to power for those unfamiliar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 2,293 #3 Posted September 25, 2025 For the lights on the C-141. I crimped on and bolted together three of the circular crimp connectors for 14/16 gauge wire. One connector for each wire, then to isolate it I put some shrink tubing and electrical tape. There hasn't been any issues yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bo dawg 547 #5 Posted October 12, 2025 I buy these heat shrink connectors. Fairly cheap and sealed connections. https://www.amazon.com/Connectors-Waterproof-connectors-Automotive-Industrial/dp/B0F21DP7MX/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7aOZUCQeEb67qyQbufrDq8Mm1W0_eeHvEnZx3jzzjSUVzdMLZRcq-rFfxim4tL1nA2A-5fvMgMBRzOk13-On6pXsxMEOa1USh9SG8hEKvhWbxwdihXG56GwvPpXasrKmmxXv0xPLuosFs05l25F-cmKc8MB5hO8w7mO7x1-GzSj-BeOQzg8ax5f0uGsCeoT5RnZOB_Sv8OkgjgRoNSoehan4g8_MQ6ltSj5b5Ui6aPw.8Dqx6pYk3xP4UDH3HdO4FS-ErJPGbOPibHulwqQCK1Q&dib_tag=se&hvadid=616863189768&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9016528&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=14074318528801062409--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14074318528801062409&hvtargid=kwd-48286762&hydadcr=24658_13611734&keywords=bullet+connectors&mcid=c3848bf268703dc98e87e7d465f4bfdf&qid=1760278621&sr=8-3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After years of saving these from different kits and replacing them in various machines, I finally binned at least 50 and reallocated the coffee can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
