Default Quick Disconnects for PIA lights

after taking 2 hours to hook up my PIAA's directly to my battery on my 08 400 Sportsman and clipping the on/off switch into my wiring, my battery was dying every 3 months. Turns out it was the little on/off switch. So i had to snip the wire since i was leaving and my quad is 2 hours from home and i'm only up there every few months.

What i'm looking for is quick disconnects for the wiring (approx. 18-22 guage) I tried radioshack/advanced auto and they have some,usually many per box. 1 box for Male/1 box for female. But I just wasn't happy with the selection/quality.

I'm hoping you all know of something a little better.

Thanks.

you could try hitting an automotive junk yard and ask them for a weatherproof two wire (or however many wires you're using) connector with both male and female ends and a couple inches of wire. They'll probably give it to ya, and if they charge it can't be much and it's a watertight connection as long as you use heat shrink when splicing in the connector!

I used trailer wire extensions (2 wire), cut them in the middle and soldered them in. Makes it easy to remove the front bumper to get at the radiator for proper cleaning. Don't forget the dielectic grease.
