I need to make a jumper for my headlight relay, but I'm not an electrical guy at all, so I wasnt sure what this part is called that allows you to put 2 (or more) female connectors on the headlight terminal. I was trying to explain what i needed to the guy at the hardware store but just got a blank look..is there a technical term for one?

It's the Utah connector. It allows several females to be connected to one male. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

An inline multi receptable is what I would call it but can't ever recall seeing one for the multiple spade setup you are wanting. I am thinking you will have to make it yourself. If someone else can do it, you could too.

The female plugs that have a male tab on them are called "piggyback connectors". Not quite what you have there, but close. Does that help?

You can buy these piggyback connectors at most auto parts stores, in the electrical aisle
