So my tailgate renewal begins! Got broken hinge fixed, about to start Durango wiper conversion but wanted to replace the goofy lock plate light the PO had on with correct stock type. PO removed the connector to OEM type. Any ideas where to get proper connector? See pics.

It uses two bullet connectors, not sure which size though. Maybe take it to the parts store and find matching one?

One thing I forgot to mention - few months ago I spent couple days chasing electrical short that would blow park/tail fuse from time to time. Pulled all lights out, disconnected everything, pulled the fuse panel out - only to find that I forgot to check license plate lights. And of course it was one of those bullet connectors that popped out and was occasionally touch body, creating a short.
Moral of the story - make sure those connectors are tight and wouldn’t come loose. I put a dab of clear RTV on it (outside, not the contact itself, of course) to keep it together and it seems to work fine so far
