Title: 69 GT500 License Plate Lamp Socket Wiring
Post by: rdmgt500 on December 15, 2024, 06:44:04 PM
Need some help with connecting the 2 license plate lamp sockets to the wiring harness. Should the 12V contact wires from each socket be spiced together into 1 bullet connector that plugs into the harness, or should the loom have 2 female bullet connectors for each socket? Similarly, should the ground wire with the lug connector from each socket be spliced together into 1 lug terminal or should each lug terminal be connected to ground? Thanks!

The two bullet connectors are plugged into a special "two into one" connector that is typically yellow.That connector is then plugged into the license plate light female connector made into the taillight harness. A alternative can be made but anything else is less then assemblyline. That is if it makes a difference to you.

Bob, Coralsnake,

Thanks for the replies. Haven't been able to locate either the 2 into 1 or a 3 into 1 bullet spice connector. Any idea where I can find one?

I amended my post as my post to support Pete's post for the most typical black one . A Yellow 3 into one wire alternative can be found made in many under dash wiring harness's typically near the fuse box. The alternative can be easily made by adding a bullet connection to the single wire. The ground wire from the receptacles can be attached individually at the provided ground points one on ether side of where the filler neck goes through the support .

The Branda one  https://store.cobranda.com/mu69sh1wibuc.html is the best alternative IMO.
