Blitzpros step by step guide to installing the waterproof 2 pin connector without the use of special crimper tools

Step 1
This guide will show you how to install the 2 pin connectors that are included with Blitzpro lights using common tools Pictured are the tools youll need. From left to right and top to bottom: a knife, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, and eletrical tape.

Step 2
You should receive the following in your plug kit: - 1 female plastic connector - 1 male plastic connector - 2 female metal leads - 2 male metal leads - 4 rubber grommets

Step 3
Take the female plastic connector, female metal leads, and rubber grommets and set them aside.

You should note the red and black wires exiting the black insulated wire housing.

Step 4
Take your knife and carefully cut about 3/4 down the center to allow the black and red wire more slack Be careful and cut straight down. Try not to cut into the housings of the red or black wire.

Step 5
Peel back the insulation housing to expose the red and black wires.

With the red wire in hand, place the metal lead over the exposed portion of the red wire.

Make sure the red wire housing lines up with the taller tabs while the exposed wire lines up with the shorter tabs.

Using needle nose pliers, crimp down on the shorter tab on the exposed wire.

Continue holding the metal lead over the wire especially if the gauge (thickness) of the wire is thin. Make sure the housing is still lined up with the longer tabs before crimping the other short tab.

Crimp the remaining short tab onto the exposed portion of the wire.

Step 6
Then crimp the taller tabs down onto the red wire insulation housing.

Do this for both of the taller tabs.

Using a pair of wire cutters, lightly crimp the shorter tab portion to ensure good wire contact with the metal lead.

Be careful not to crimp too hard with the crimpers as this can also sever the wire and metal lead.

Do the same procedures in steps 5 and 6 for the black wire.

Gently tug on the wires and the metal leads to ensure they are securely crimped.

Step 7
Take two rubber grommets and slide them over the two metal leads with the narrower end oriented toward the outter end of the lead.

Step 8
Orient the metal leads with the remaining tab facing upwards and line them up with the back of the female plastic connector

Take the female plastic connector and orient it so the side with two notches are facing up and the side with the triangular notch is facing down.

Insert the metal leads into the back of the connector until you feel them click. Once the leads are set, you will not be able to pull them out.

Check if the blades of the leads came through the other side properly.

Make sure to check the back of the connector and ensure the rubber grommets were seated properly.

Step 9
Roughly measure how much excess housing there is at the base of the connector.

Cut the excess wire housing with a pair of side cutter or a knife.

Use a small length of electrical tape and wrap the end of the wire housing you cut earlier.

This completes the femal side of the Deutsch connector.

Step 10
Take your complimenting end of wires, remaining male plastic connector, metal leads, and rubber grommets and set them aside.

Strip approximately 1/4 of the insulation housing o. If you do not have a wire stripping tool, you may also use your knife to score a cut around the wire housing and strip the wire this way.

Step 11
Place the metal lead over the exposed portion of the wire. As before, make sure the wire housing lines up with the taller tabs on the metal lead, while the exposed wire lines up with the shorter tabs.

Crimp both short tabs over the exposed wire with your needle nose pliers.

Step 12
Then crimp the taller tabs down onto the wire insulation housing.

Again, be careful not to crimp too hard. Lightly tug on the wire and the metal lead after to ensure that the wire is securely crimped.

Using a pair wire cutters, lightly crimp the shorter tab portion to ensure good wire contact with the metal lead.

Be careful not to crimp too hard with the crimpers as this can also sever the wire and metal lead. Do the same procedures in steps 11 and 12 for your ground wire (typically black).

Step 13
Take two rubber grommets and slide them over the two metal leads with the narrower end oriented toward the outer end of the lead.

Step 14
Orient the metal leads with the remainig tab facing upwards and line them up with the back of the male plastic connector.

Take the male plastic connector and orient it so the side with the large plastic release tab faces up. Determine which wire is your live wire (typically red or white) so when you insert the male plug into the female end, it will match the red wire on the both ends. Pictured: red (live) on right and the black (ground) on the left.

Step 15
Remove the orange lock tab from the end of the of male plug.

With your wires still lined up correctly on the back of the connector, insert the metal leads into the back of the connector until you feel them click. You should see the metal leads appear on the front of the connector.

Line the orange lock tab up with the front of the connector while pushing it on and squeezing the sides until it as ush as possible with the sides of the connector body.

It is okay if the sides of the orange lock tab do not sit completely ush. It will not aect the use of the connector. Lightly tug on each inidividual wire to make sure they are properly seated.

Step 16
Take your female connector and test t it on your newly nished male connector.

Finished!
