Default 2002 XK8 Coupe Third Brake Light Connector

Hi All,

My 2002 XK8 coupe was missing the third brake light when I bought it so I'm trying to replace it with a generic unit. The original wiring is still in place, and I'd like to wire the correct connector to the generic unit so that so that I don't need to modify the original wiring in the car.

I'm having trouble identifying the connector type and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've included some photos of the male connector below, can anyone help me identify the female connector that would typically sit in the OEM brake light assembly?

The Electrical Guide describes it as a "2-WAY MULTILOCK 070 / WHITE".

You don't say where you are located, but Mouser could be an option:
https://www.mouser.com/c/connectors/...s=2%20Position

Your best bet might be a breaker.

For anyone wondering, that link was just the connector housing and did not include the required electrical pins

In the end, I ordered a high mounted stop light from an X-type and that plugged right in. I've set the new light in the rear window and it appears to be staying there, I'd like to 3 print a cover for it, since the original XK8 high mount stop lights are nearly impossible to find
