Hey Guys,

Would anyone know where I could find a replacement connector for my LED taillights? It appears like water was finding its way down to the connector and I need to replace it with a new one. Lights will randomly stop working.

I circled the part I need in red

Thanks,
JO

Is it burned and damaged beyond hope? If that's the case you could use the base from a 3157 or 4157 bulb. Pass the cables coming from the housing through it after tinning their ends.

If it can still be salvaged, disassemble it, clean the wires, tin their ends again and put it back together.

Note: keep the wires in their respective position (take a picture before dismantling the plug).

Thanks! I believe their is still hope! When I move the connectors and hold it, the taillights work perfectly.

btw, looks like those connectors are female. I need male connectors. Any idea on where to buy these iteams?

The ones attached to the housings (circled in red in your picture) are male connectors similar to the base of a 3157/4157 bulb. If you can't find them, you could use a bulb and take the base from it.

If you are referring to the female ones attached to the car harnesses, then those are 3157/4157 sockets and I don't think they are difficult to get.

As I mentioned before, if the male connector can still be salvaged, disassemble it, clean the wires, tin their ends again and put it back together making sure the wires are returned to their original positions inside the connector.
