    Good morning TW,

    I'm getting my ready to convert my 2nd gen into a 3rd gen with McNeil's conversation kit. The only issue I'm having is finding pigtails/connects to solder onto my wiring harness to accept the 3rd gen headlights. Does anyone know where I might be able to get these pigtails/connects?

    I'm installing a set of stock LED DRL headlights off a 2019.

    Signal, DRL and Ground are same connector. Just need to de-pin and re-pin the wires (circuits) to match the 3rd Gen headlamp.

    Marker circuit.
    Different connector but same sealed terminal, so purchase connector, de-pin vehicle connector, insert into purchased connector.

    Headlamps: from male H4 to H11 (low beam) left, H9 (high beam) left.
    Male H4 to H11 (low beam) right, H9 (high beam) right.

    I was hoping to find a crashed truck and cut the pigtails off but no luck. I'm planning on eventually getting a set of the Alpha Rex Nova, those would work with the SR5 models that didn't have the LED DRLs. But for now, I need to pigtails for at least the high and low beams, turn signals and side markers.
