    I am looking for a source for the harness side of the front round parking/turn signal connectors for a CJ.
    The connectors are horizontal and vertical inside the plastic connector housing.

    Below is a picture of the connector that is the female version of what I am looking for.
    I need the male side of this connector so that I can plug the below light into a harness.

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    I would think you could find that at any boneyard. Very common connector.

    Yea prices are ridiculus !
    Maybe not as common anymore.
    We used to save all old wire harnesses at the dealership from wrecks, burn jobs, etc. for exactly this reason.

    That's why I never throw anything away, plus I like the old stock stuff.

    It is good to have the proper crimping tool and de-pinning tools to compliment these connectors.
    I like to crimp and then solder to make a permanent connection.

    2X I solder all of them. Then use a little dielectric grease on them when you put them together.

    Dielectric grease is a good idea. If I am going to the trouble of putting a connector on, it will be waterproof if possible.

    And what would be the proper tool(s) for these type connectors? These are things I'd like to add to my tool box along with the tools for weatherpack connectors.

    The title says “ ‘55 to ‘86 “ connectors. From ‘55 to around ‘67, our Jeeps use separate bullet type connectors on a smaller signal light. Around ‘68, Kaiser changed to the larger signal lights that use the dual spade connectors.

    You can get a 2 wire waterproof connector on Amazon. Splice to the wires you have.
