Side repeater conversion on 96 850

[454cid]

Before I purchased my 850 the previous owner had fitted white side markers. IMO they look naff so one of the first things I did was replace them with the original amber lights which were supplied with the car

I don't think the white ones look bad on your car, since they don't clash with the front corner lights.

I found these, which might match my turn signals better.

I finally ordered the connectors I need. They have wires but they're short. I wish I didn't have to splice it together, but the wait for bare connectors to be assembled was longer (from China) and I'm not sure about crimping them anyway.

Any recommendations for wire to lengthen them? I figured I'd do see what Menard's has, but that's the extent of my plan for wire. I'll probably cover it with plastic convoluted wiring "loom".

I’d solder then heatgun wrap the joints. The heat gun shrink wrap thingies are pretty neat (low) tech. I’m an electrical caveman (see my side marker light thread for proof), so when I learned about these things a few years ago I was amazed, like an Ice Age dude seeing television for the first time.

But please take my advice with a grain of salt. Someone will chime in. I’m still wearing animal pelts and I carry a club.
