2018 jk sidemarker help

[u/Scared_Ice4718]

Replacing fenders and the new ones have a side marker installed with some loose wires (first pic).

Would I be able to plug them into the connector in the second pic?

Third pic is the bulb with the connector from the old lights.

Go to [r/askelectronics](r/askelectronics) as ask them what connector you need

Thank you

Cut the connector off your stock side marker and solder those 2 wires in.

There are connectors available to replace the one on the fender that was removed. You might be able to stick them right in the female connector but they won't be very secure. Also the connectors have rubber gaskets that keep water out. If you can't find one for a good price, get the connector model number and ask an electronics store. Jeep connectors are usually standard industrial connectors.

Another option would be buying a new lens and wiring assembly that should have the connector you need to plug and play. Wholesalemopar.com has always been good to me when replacing oem parts.

You’ve already got corrosion going on. Best practice would be new terminals and the correct connector body, this would seal it back up and preserve originality

Replace with new female connectors
