Though non-conductive silicone is a fine idea in electrical connections, it wouldn't have prevented that corrosion. Brass or copper plating must be super thin on that prong.

You wouldnt happen to know a local joint I could pick up some clips for a Mosin or a dog-collar sling for one do you?

This is exactly how I found my plug after tilting the front clip forward:

I packed my connectors inside and out with dielectic grease prior to install. I think mine are fine . They still work fine.

Lowes has them too - near the electrical/switch section

Nice meeting you guys too! It's cool to have some WJs and ZJs to wheel with.

Mine was fine too until it worked loose and rusted through lol

The other advantage to XJDAD's setup (assuming it's like the one he made for my Camaro) is that each light is independent. With my Putco harness, I completely lost my forward lights because one connector was loose.

It was about 18 gallons @ 6.31 a gal so like 100 bucks in gas. Takes about 50 min or so to get there
