Default Help the C5 Community avoid the Corvette Tax and Identify this Hyperflash Connector!

I'd like to make my own hyperflash harness but with plug and play connectors rather than requiring wire splicing. Similar to the hood seal situation, where you can buy your own generic hood seal rather than pay the Corvette tax and get one made "for Corvette", I'd like to buy my own universal flasher (which seem to be around $10 on Amazon/ebay) but with a GM/Corvette-specific connector.

I just need to figure out what connector this is that's connected to the flasher (see picture of example hyperflash harness below). I believe it's a GM/Delphi connector that's either stock or used in some other GM car/application.





I know one can buy a hyperflash harness for $40-$45, but if we can all save $20 each, why not?

The one for the flasher seems to be like this one. It is a universal connector for 3-prong flashers and 3-prong sealed beam headlights. It's $2.97 at Summit


It should fit a LED flasher like the one below, which can handle loads from 20mA to 20A without a problem.

Unsealed 150 Metripack maybe?

Try this site - https://www.automotive-connectors.com/ to search connectors.


Overall, by the time you buy the housings, the pins and the crimper required to properly put the pins onto the wire you just won't save anything.

I just used spade connectors. They fit perfectly. Something like this: https://www.grainger.com/product/10K...412-adType^PLA

Flasher is a standard CF13, that's what all of them use.

I may have figured out a way to modify the stock flasher to not hyperflash. I'll report back on that if it works.
