Default headlight wiring connector

Has anyone seen a male connector that would plug into the factory headlight connector? I am setting up my headlights to run off of 2 relays.... And I could make up a harness that would be a direct plug in rather then cutting and splicing....
If not, I could use 3 male spade connectors, but would rather find a 3 prong male connector that would plug into the headlight wiring...
Thanks

Is this for the sealed beams, or the Aero style?

If sealed beams, what I did was cut apart one of these:

Alas, that's just the male; if you need both, you may want to check https://www.walmart.com/ip/Handy-Pac...ctor/170264581

If Aero, then the 9004/9007 style connector ought to be easy to find; I'd look at
Amazon Amazon
. Cut them up and you have both the plug and two sockets for the 9004/9007 type lights.

Just to remind you - be sure to fuse as close to the battery as possible! I have a fuse block I use under my hood; low beam / high beam / sub are the three current fuses.

Links fixed. For some reason, the third paragraph was bonded to the link in the second by the web site ... and I didn't proof before I saved!
