Default Looking for wire harness connectors...

I read a thread last month about someone who was removing their dash so much that he cut all the light bulb leads from the back of the instrument panel, then wired them up to a harness connector.

By doing so, it would be so much easier and cleaner to remove/re-install the instrument panel. Each time I try to put the panel back, two or three bulbs end up popping out.

I want to do the same thing, but can't find out where I can buy new harness kits??? I'd like to get two harness connectors with eight pins each.

Has anyone done this, or know where to find new harness connector kits???

Thanks for any help...

Radio Shack has molded male & female connectors in 8 pin connections.
You will have to crimp & SOLDER the wires to the male & female pins but that is the RIGHT way to do it.
