    Thought I would share this product that I used to connect the third brake light on my camper shell. It's a gasketed marine electrical connector. It makes for a clean install, is waterproof and looks a lot better that the terminal connections that a lot of people use.

    Seems to be holding up well. You can see the gasket may need to be replaced at some point, but I don't worry about it too much as I normally have the camper shell on.
