Blitzpros step by step guide toinstalling the waterproof 2 pin connectorwithout the use of special crimper tools
This guide will show you how
install the 2 pin connectors
that are included with Blitzpr
lights using common tools
Pictured are the tools youll
need. From left to right and
top to bottom: a knife, needle
nose pliers, wire cutters, wire
strippers, and eletrical tape.
Step 1
Step 2You should receive the follow
in your plug kit:
- 1 female plastic connector
- 1 male plastic connector
- 2 female metal leads
- 2 male metal leads
- 4 rubber grommets

Step 3
Take the female plastic conne
female metal leads, and rubb
grommets and set them aside
You should note the red and
black wires exiting the black
insulated wire housing.
Take your knife and carefully
about 3/4 down the center t
allow the black and red wire
more slack
Step 4
Be careful and cut straight do
Try not to cut into the housin
of the red or black wire.

Peel back the insulation hous
to expose the red and black
wires.
Step 5
With the red wire in hand, pla
the metal lead over the expo
portion of the red wire.
Make sure the red wire hous
lines up with the taller tabs
while the exposed wire lines
with the shorter tabs.
Using needle nose pliers, crim
down on the shorter tab on t
exposed wire.

Then crimp the taller tabs do
onto the red wire insulation
housing.
Crimp the remaining short ta
onto the exposed portion of
wire.
Continue holding the metal le
over the wire especially if the
gauge (thickness) of the wire
thin. Make sure the housing i
still lined up with the longer t
before crimping the other sh
tab.
Step 6

Using a pair of wire cutters, lig
crimp the shorter tab portion t
ensure good wire contact with
metal lead.
Be careful not to crimp too ha
with the crimpers as this can a
sever the wire and metal lead.
Do this for both of the taller ta

Take two rubber grommets
and slide them over the two
metal leads with the narrowe
end oriented toward the outt
end of the lead.
Do the same procedures in
steps 5 and 6 for the black
wire.
Gently tug on the wires and t
metal leads to ensure they a
securely crimped.
Step 7

7/15
Orient the metal leads with th
remaining tab facing upwards
and line them up with the bac
of the female plastic connect
Step 8
Take the female plastic conne
and orient it so the side with
notches are facing up and the
side with the triangular notch
facing down.
Insert the metal leads into th
back of the connector until yo
feel them click. Once the lead
are set, you will not be able to
pull them out.
Check if the blades of the
leads came through the othe
side properly.

Make sure to check the back
of the connector and ensure
the rubber grommets were
seated properly.
Roughly measure how much
excess housing there is at the
base of the connector.
Step 9
Cut the excess wire housing
with a pair of side cutter or
a knife.

Use a small length of electric
tape and wrap the end of the
wire housing you cut earlier.
This completes the femal sid
the Deutsch connector.
Take your complimenting en
of wires, remaining male plas
connector, metal leads, and
rubber grommets and set th
aside.
Step 10

Strip approximately 1/4 of th
insulation housing off. If you d
not have a wire stripping tool
you may also use your knife t
score a cut around the wire
housing and strip the wire thi
way.
Place the metal lead over the
exposed portion of the wire.
As before, make sure the wire
housing lines up with the talle
tabs on the metal lead, while
the exposed wire lines up wit
the shorter tabs.
Step 11

Crimp both short tabs over th
exposed wire with your needl
nose pliers.
Again, be careful not to crimp
too hard. Lightly tug on the w
and the metal lead after to
ensure that the wire is securecrimped.
Then crimp the taller tabs dow
onto the wire insulation hous
Step 12

Be careful not to crimp too h
with the crimpers as this can
sever the wire and metal lead
Do the same procedures in
steps 11 and 12 for your gro
wire (typically black).
Take two rubber grommets a
slide them over the two meta
leads with the narrower end
oriented toward the outer en
the lead.
Step 13
Using a pair wire cutters, lig
crimp the shorter tab portion
ensure good wire contact wit
the metal lead.

Orient the metal leads with th
remainig tab facing upwards
and line them up with the ba
of the male plastic connector
Take the male plastic connec
and orient it so the side with
large plastic release tab faces
Determine which wire is your
wire (typically red or white) so
when you insert the male plug
into the female end, it will ma
the red wire on the both ends
Pictured: red (live) on right an
the black (ground) on the left
Remove the orange lock tab f
the end of the of male plug.
Step 14
Step 15

With your wires still lined up
correctly on the back of the
connector, insert the metal lea
into the back of the connector
until you feel them click. You
should see the metal leads ap
on the front of the connector.
Line the orange lock tab up wi
the front of the connector whipushing it on and squeezing th
sides until it as flush as possib
with the sides of the connecto
body.
It is okay if the sides of the ora
lock tab do not sit completely
flush. It will not affect the use o
the connector.
Lightly tug on each inidividual
wire to make sure they are
properly seated.
