Default Has anyone used a H10 pigtail for connecting fogs

I just bought some LED fogs and before I spliced into my wire harness I thought a pig tail for the female end may work perfect...these came up on amazon. Has anyone used anything like this? Or have a recommendation for a nicer one with heavier gauge wires or alternative that doesn't involve messing with the factory harness.

What kind of foglights? What kind of connector do they use? If they come with a duetch connector you can buy the starkly connector which adapts the factory fog light connector saving you from having to cut up the wiring.

Only reason I wouldn't go with the picture you posted is those pigtails are super flimsy and cheap looking. I used them for my retrofit only because they came with them. That's just me though.

I totally agree. They look super cheap. Has anyone found any thing higher quality?

Let me find the link to what I bought for all my wiring connections.

These are what I use. You can buy the single ends and pair it with the starry connector if you want. All depends on how your fog lights are wired? Are they just cut wires?

Starkey connector. Pretty expensive at $30 for a set of 2.

Mine are just cut wires. Actually cut and tinned which was an unexpected treat. I'll see if that link will work. Thanks.

I gotcha. I got a light bar in a trade for some other stuff and that's what it had too. I prefer not to use cheap butt connectors anymore. They always seemed to corrode over a short amount of time.

I've been using the Starkey connectors with my Rigid SAE Fogs since Feb 2015 and they work flawlessly. It's quite nice to be plug-n-play.
