Does anyone know what size these bullet connectors are? I believe they are odd size, maybe .163? In general, I find them in dash/auxiliary lighting harnesses. I seem to be having trouble finding an exact match at hardware or auto parts stores. Looked on Waytek/Del City etc. but found nothing Chrysler specific. Thanks for any suggestions.

The bullet connectors included in the Painless kit are: male, .155 o.d., female, .150. i.d.
I've used them in a previous build with good results. Where they source them, ???
Did you try McMaster-Carr??

Just looked at them under a magnifier, they have the initials K.S.

Thanks.
What I am trying to do is utilize the orange, 3 pin molded connector in the dash aux. light harness to plug in some gauge lights. I took the ashtray out and put a two hole gauge panel in its place, fits perfect and didn't have to drill any new holes. The ashtray laamp actually plugs into the 3 pin molded connector which is now empty.
So if I can find the correct size connector then I don't have to splice into the light harness, I can just run the gauge light feeds right to the existing connector.
I could cut the ashtray light wire to use the connector but I don't like cutting original stuff if I don't have to.

I do have some junk harnesses around, guess I can look through them.
Also, good idea on the extra solder and file method, never thought of doing it that way, thanks.
Still, for future reference, I would like to know the correct size of these things.
