brake light switch question

bought a new brake light switch for my 64 c10. but when i was gonna install it i noticed i dont have the connection/plug that connects to the brake light switch. prob the reason i dont have rear lights at all. my question is what is that connector called , ive been trying to find it but not knowing the correct name has made it difficult. if someone has a pic of it too, would be very usefull. its for a stock braking system if that matters.?thanks

I still haven't found that pic of the brake light connector but here's the pic of the courtesy light connection I promised you.

I just used generic female connection ends for that, since mine was missing as well.

Re: brake light switch question

There are two separate plugs, one on each wire that slide onto the metal ends of the stop light switch.

If you have to, you could use slide on connectors of the same size.

Other than that, you'd have to buy that part of the harness I am guessing.

The fun part will be adjusting the switch to where it is 'just right' !
