    I can't help you as far as who stocks them, but what are you trying to do? Curiosity is getting the best of me here.

    Two things, actually:

    1. New truck has factory bed lights. On my F250, I had KRT run LEDs from under the rear bumper to my upfitter switch.

    Here, I am going to tap the right and left bed LED feed, ground to frame, and have my factory bed LED button operate my bumper mounted LEDs, too. Will probably run a strand of LED strip lights inside my toolbox, too.

    2. Amp install. Going to use the taps to jump into the speaker wires and run into a line-level to RCA converter. The amp has a remote turn on, so the only other wire I will have to run will be the power wire to a fused-block battery connection.

    I'll call when they open, but their website doesn't say they carry them.

    Wouldn't cutting a wire then soldering and shrink wrapping a connection be less likely to corrode in such an environment? Or tap into the connector at the end of the run so that the wire run is continuous without splices or breaks?

    They don't have them, nor did they know what they were.

    With the low wattage for the tap on the speaker wire, it is no issue and it seems like the way the majority of folks tap into factory speakers. I may just use t-taps and put some hot glue on them when I am done.

    As far as the rear lights...again, low voltage due to LED. May also use t-taps and tape the shit outta them.

    EDIT - disregard. I ended up overnight overnighting some kit full of T-taps. Thanks for the assistance.

    Since I can't find what I need locally, and Amazon cannot overnight it, I'm after something like this:

    So far, AutoZone isn't showing me anything. Nor is Advance.

    Those are some fancy looking scotch locks. Congrats on your venture into the world of trucker-wiring.
