    So I bought a new MC off ebay and now the push connector is no longer compatible. Anyone know what connector I can buy to swap in? I dont know what it is called.

    The switch on the MC looks like this.

    cut the MC connector end off the stock swith and solder the two wires onto the switch in the photo. Plug it back in in the headlight bucket and you should be good to go. Shrink tube or some other sealant over the connections should be used.

    Yeah I assumed I could do that, but then it wouldnt be as easy to remove in the future. I am hoping someone tells me, "Oh that is just a <part name>, you can get that at radio shack for $4."

    Where in MD? I am just over the Nice bridge.

    2 female spade connectors, insulated type, then one shrink tube over both to make it look nice
