    Sorry man, I see you asked this last September. Never saw it. Anyway, I got my connectors from Jegs. The weather proof heat shrink connectors have it all, built in heat shrink as well as a sealant http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/10700/10002/-1 . As far as a crimper I've been using one I absconded from the Navy about a hundred years ago. The way tools are nowadays I probably go w/ a Snap-on, Matco, or the like. Get a plier type w/ the spike on one side and a groove on the other. http://cableorganizer.com/klein-too...impers/journeyman-crimping-tool-insulated.htm

    One tool that is nice to have the Blue-Point name on. A good crimper is where it all starts.

    Do these kit use a 2 prong flasher? Do they wire right up to the old style turn signals with the 3 prong flasher and 7 wire hookup?

    7 wires to the switch. Flasher uses 3 wires instead of the usual 2.

    How many flashers do you have? I know with the two prong flashers one does turn signals and the other does hazards. You could probably wire up the old style switch to work with two prong flashers.
