Default wiring connectors

I'm trying to find wiring connectors for Lucas Style tail lights and front parking lights. They are called Loose Bullet Sleeves. They are approx. 5mm, made of Brass or Copper. They are slightly tapered so they friction fit into the wiring connector on the light assembly. I've searched all over town, on the internet, and called a supplier in Chicago. No one can find them. If anyone knows where to get them please let me know. Thanks

If Enzo doesn't have them, try Moss Motors

I wouldn't use a stock Lucas anything.

Convert wiring ends to standard two or three prong connectors, solder and grease them for corrosion protection.

The stock Lucas ground wire connection on parking, turn, tail lights are just begging for corrosion problems. Disconnect them, straighten out the lamp lead, drill a hole in it, then use a soldered and greased connector to hold it in place with a stainless or brass screw and nut about an 8-32 or 10-32.

Those little brass fittings that the lens screws go into will cause dissimilar metals corrosion if not protected. Wheelbearing grease, or ignition wire silicone grease will prevent this.
