I didn't know that there were any kind of standard connectors.  They gotta
be out there somewhere, since motorcycles use H4 bulbs, but I couldn't
find them (nor did I really try that hard).

What I did was to order the .312" female spade connectors directly from
AMP (did the "sample" query).  You will _not_ find these in your local
hardware store, FYI.  Then, crimp, solder, etc. to your hearts content and
you'll have made the connectors.

Duh, I meant to say that I just snipped off the existing connector and put
on my personal harness.

You probably want to relay this connection as well.  Just stick a relay on
power and switch it with the lead that runs the side markers.  While we're
on the topic, please make sure to relay the entire setup, as the standard
wiring is emabarssingly inadequate.
