I have the stock rear bullet style lights from my iron and i re located them back farther and want to re wire from the lights to the plug. My problem is the three small connectors inside the bullets I'm not sure where i can find them. Can anyone help me out?

My local electrical store has them. So maybe radio shack in the states? or you might be able to look up "wire quick disconnect" or something of that nature and find some online somewhere

they make them in all different sizes and then you just pin them yourself.

I've never seen connections inside the bullets, a photo would sure help. What year bike.

Is it a deutsch connector?

What im referring tois the small metal tabs that the bulb sit on to make connection and light up. The ones at the end of each wire. If i cant find them i figured i can always cut the wires and solder new ones on

Yea you can't get those. Napa auto z sells replacement sockets but nothing like what you have. Been there.
Cut solder shrink wrap.

You know I don't think I have ever seen those anywhere and I go to radio s a lot. Do not even know what they are called.
Socket wire ends, socket connectors your guess;-)
