I'm wondering about the pros and cons of using crimped on bullet connectors at the back up light switch wiring instead of the soldered ones. I have one connector broken off and it's a pain to get to it to solder.
Any thoughts? Paul |

Shouldn't matter as long as there's enough slack in the wire and the crimp connection is good.

Available new anywhere and fit better than those crimp on things |

The "pros"are they're easier to attach to the wires. The "cons" are they don't fit in the switch. Might wanna just get the correct metric bullets and do it right.
