These are called Hella sockets. Don't buy cheap copies they will melt.

got to agree,

we get ours from TH White on account and they don't over heat when running the 240 blitz lamps on the trucks.

It's not melted yet....

Ordered plugs and sockets, arrived yesterday. Got the plugs on, well made and should last a while

Just ordered one myself, will be handy having one in the back of the pickup to save stretching long wires through the windows

From the above link I use the ones pictured, and have done for 10 years now on bikes and quads and in cars, never had one fail.

The good thing about the twist and lock ones is that they don't pull out at the worst possible moment... like when your lamp is pulling on the wire and there are two glaring foxy eyes looking right back at you!

Just seen this thread, I use hedge trimmer plugs, wire them straight to the battery with a fuse.
