Whats the name of this connector (3rd brake light connector)

[Chimera]

Whats the name of this 2 pin connector, or where can I get a male and female that would fit? I want to wire the 3rd brake light with a 3rd brake light flasher, but I would prefer to make it easily reversible if possible/affordable.

thanks!

I never thought about individual connector types. For common things like headlight bulb connectors, there are lots of after market options, but I'm not seeing anything useful for internal connectors. It's not like they go bad during the life of the vehicle, after all. You can of course hunt down a junkyard car and snip one out of that. There are lots of wrecked BRZ/FRS/GT86, right? I mean, how else can you explain my ridiculous insurance rates?

I just soldered on "generic" connectors (Micro Deans connectors commonly used in radio control airplanes -- my other old hobby) to the wires, and then wrapped the whole thing in heat-shrink tubing, such that I can remove the brake flasher module out of the circuit.

Original wire from BCU <-> brake flasher <-> brake light.

The connectors are the same, so I can easily take the brake flasher out and go to:
Original wire from BCU <-> brake light.

It's true that the original wires were cut, but if I ever sell the car, I expect to leave the brake flasher in and give the buyer the option to bypass it.

I could figure this out with a multi meter, but based on your thread you already know the answer to this, is the white striped green wire (the wire on the top of my photo) the positive lead?

Mine are all wrapped up, and I don't remember. But even if I knew and gave you an answer, you should ALWAYS check the wiring on your car yourself, multiple times, anyway. The rule of "measure twice, cut once" applies here.

I don't know the name of that connector or one that would fit, but I use Molex connectors on nearly all of my wiring. They make a kit that's priced around $50 and you can buy a decent set of crimpers for $20 or less. Probably not the price you're looking to spend but It comes with various connectors and the male and female pins. I'm sure if you check the site you can find an all in one kit. Here's the link.
