Seriously, though, if yours will fit snug, they should work fine. I prefer the heat-shrink connectors, but where you're at, it probably doesn't need to be. Make sure, though (on the B+ at least) when your new dog-thing is plugged in, there isn't any exposed metal to touch anything else. Your pic looks like they would be fine.

- March 06, 2013, 15:36:25 PMSo I am looking at the connectors and I have never seen a blade that is large enough to slide in and can not find any, one of the auto electrical places suggested that the plugs were made to plug 2 wires into them, and I know about over loading and all that because I have been reading the other post with interest on this subject, but the plugs look like this = Top picture
the guy suggested that I use the bullethead plug as seen in the second picture.
I am looking to only power a MP3 player and a GPS at the most.....
so those bullethead plugs would work and be snug, am I on the right path here?

- March 06, 2013, 15:32:20 PMOk I have a serious question now. No messing with PC or 49 just a question that I am mulling over. So on the 800's under the left side cover are 2 wires in the first picture and they are labelled for "Electrical Accessories" W/BL and BK/Y, one is negative and the other is of course positive, in the headlight pod the same thing......same wires ok.....
