Default Wiring light bar

I got a nice 20" light bar for the front of my brush guard and everything is perfect and simple except the connection from the light bar to the wiring harness does not work since the light bar wires are just bare wires. So does anyone know how to connect these two? After this a monkey could install it.

Solder and heat shrink. Those exposed connections are garbage and will corrode out in no time.

Greased my led reverse light connections up and zero corrosion or problems. Makes for faster removal if they go out too.... Jut sayin

Yeah... I tend to overbuild. I haven't use quick connectors on any of my lighting projects. If the lights need to be removed, a quick snip and they're free. I prefer to solder and heat shrink, then run the wires in wire loom to keep everything nice, neat and protected.

To your point though, if you gunk them up good with dielectric grease, and reapply as needed, those exposed connectors will work well enough.
