T-Connectors are small aftermarket wiring components, in the shape of a T, that plug directly into pre-existing plugs on the vehicle. Those pre-existing plugs have been installed on the vehicle from the factory for the specific purpose of allowing a T-Connector to tap into it's power! Here is what a T-Connector looks like:

T-Connectors are application sensitive. There is a specific part number for different makes, years, and models of vehicles. Use our vehicle wiring guide to find the T-Connector suitable for your vehicle.
