Default Parking light sockets

As I prepare to perfect my headlight wiring, I also want to find the round connector where the parking/turn sig connects to the harness through the bulkhead. The connector that plugs into the bulkhead.

Right now I just have three female lugs but I’d like a plug. I’ve got weather sealed Delphi connectors ordered for the harness to buckets connection. But that parking socket seems tough to find.

I don't know if you're looking for the lamp side or the harness side. Here's the socket to the plug at the wheel well. (The bulkhead is back by the master cylinder and there is no round plug there for any lights. They all go through the left hand side square plug at the bulkhead)

Are you referring to the round rubber connector, with one horizontal and two vertical terminals? I think it's the same plug as is used for the power window motor. I don't know of anyone selling them separate from the harness, and I'm pretty sure I've cut everyone off of all of the old harnesses I have.

You might try Eagle Wiring. They use to be the only wiring company that would sell any individual terminals, plugs or connectors. Unlike Lectric Limited, American Auto Wire and M & H, Eagle is a small one or two person shop, and were more willing to work with customers on things like that. Eagle was sold and moved from Tennessee to Ohio, I don't recall the new owners name, but I have a phone number for him, 800-977-0030.

The connector in the circle plugs into the rubber connector on the park lamp harness. Is that the one you need?

I have some harness connectors as well. I have used plastic housings and new terminals. Probably the ones you need. Do you need the body harness side, light assy side or both?

Body harness side. Round ones with three female terminals. (I have new terminals)

That’s the harness in the wheel well that goes to the parking light and the other end has a round plus that pops through a hole under the nose. I need the round plug brings power to the harness in the wheel well.

My solution now works well but looks like ****. I just use separate spade terminals with heat shrink to keep them from shorting.
