Headlight connectors

[wiz 1]

Had a problem with the original wiring connectors in the front loom, the ones that sit right in the way of water and debris off the wheel.

Got some new connectors of ebay - waterproof superseal.
Tried fitting - what a faff and so small i wrecked one of them then gave up just bullet crimped the whole thing. Fixed the problem though not ideal.

Has anyone used a proper connector that is fit-table on the car without needing three hands to solder.

I rewired all my front lights, indicators, foglamps, plus the radiator fan using waterproof superseal. No particular faffing, and much better connections than original.

Maybee the ones i have are too small/low amps, certainly wouldn't fit the double wires on the near side. I found that the things were hard to crimp on the bench and very difficult under the car. Then working out which pin goes where

tvrgit which way do the terminals fit? obviously male/female work but how do they line up. Does the crimp side line up with the locking tab if you get me?
Once pushed in their fixed i guess.
