Ebay Tail Light Harness

Ive had this in my watch list on ebay for a while, I need new connectors for my tail lights and marker lights. Id like to just replace the whole harness instead of splicing into the old one. Has anyone used this before? looks to be pretty good quality, thought Id ask before I made a decision.

Looks good at the light connections but doesn't seem to have factory connectors for the harness itself. At some point it would still need to be spliced in......but for 60 bucks it might save some time gathering all the individual components?

I know it needs to be spliced into the stock harness where it ends, I just dont want to do every connector. $60 isnt that bad for something already wired up and covered real clean in sleeving.

Yea but you would remove the harness connector pull the pins and solder the wires to the ends of the original pins. Then re-seat them into the harness connector and plug that into the main harness.

I wonder why they didn't include that into their product so it was plug & play?

I don't think the OEM type connectors are available anymore.
With a good soldering gun and some heat-shrink this harness could be one answer to the repair?

All my connectors are getting switched out for weatherproof ones. So I not really worried about connecting it to the main harness. Just thought it might save me some time and look neater than just adding new connectors to the old wiring.

Its actually cheaper to buy it through their website. mrtaillight.com. For the same price as on ebay you can add a trailer light harness plug. They say everything is soldered and heatshrunk, everything on my harness right now is crimped thats why I want to get rid of it.
