Default connectors for marker and repeater light replacements

Replacement marker lights and side repeater lights come with a new bulb holder having a two pin male connector.

What female connector will mate with these connectors?

Anything that is commonly available? eg. fuel injector connectors?

Hi Plums
I found a Roadfly forum member (aetaylor) thread that has a posting about connecting replacement marker light on XJ. Here is an extract of part of the posting - a reply to blackbeard posting on Roadfly:

"marker lights; Mine crumbled in my hand when I removed them, so the plug on the light and on the harness were destroyed.

When I got my new light I took it to the local hardware store and found connectors that would slide over the pins, I crimped them to a 12 inch wire, slid the crimps over the pins on the marker lights and filled the hole up with electronic RTV.

Then after it dried, I cut the end off the harness plug (what was left of it)and crimped the other end of the 12inch wire to the harness."

Hope this helps

Jim Lombardi

The crimp on 1/8 inch flag connectors would work ... but kind of ugly.

After looking around, it looks a lot like a Bosch EV1 fuel injector clip connector ... at least it does in the pictures available.
