Weatherproof Electrical quick Dissconnect

Anyone know of something that would fit the bill? It just needs to have two wires (+-). Its for my golight mount. Im going to run it through my 3rd brake light and leave it on the roof. Then have the other end on the golight. That way I can use the magnetic mount to place it up there, simply plug it in, and im good to go. I was thinking a trailer harness, but they have multiple wires. I could always cut them off, but i would rather have a dedicated 2 wire QD.

I tried google, but I mainly found lots of places to buy in bulk. Lol. Any help?

Yeah, maybe. I have had bad luck using those type of connectors in the past with HID's. Maybe if I do the install myself that will work. Thanks! Ill see what else pops up, but that might be a good choice.

Be careful about the amp rating (depending on your golight wattage) of the thrid brake light wiring and any circuit extensions (wire, connectors, etc.)

Otherwise you could end up with a "went light" and/or this:

No, im running power to it, THROUGH the 3rd brake light. Im runing from the battery to a switch on my dash, then from the switch back up to the golight. That way I can completely kill power to the golight. Gonna go with a 14g wire i believe. Then I will look and see if there is a place to ground it up in the 3rd brake light area.
