Tips on replacing 4 way bullet connectors?

Well, I found the culprit to my lighting issues with my dash and front signals, the connector/splitters were broke inside the rubber housing and losing contacts........hence not having lights!

Have you guys found anything that would work to replace the 4 way?

The thing on the top right

I'm not necessarily looking for bullet connectors, I'm looking for something to replace a 4 way connector.

Those connectors split the 12v to different locations. IE, one wire comes from the light switch then splits into 3 ways (dash lights, rear lights, front lights) then each of those 3 splits into different ways like the dash lights split to three wires (oil light, water temp light, center drive light) then splits into two wires again (the two in center speedometer)

So I need something that will split one power source, into three different separate outputs

When I rewired my '73 I used WeatherPac connectors. They come in a large assortment of conductors. I used the 4 conductor parts for the headlights and other similar connections.

I bought mine at Summit Racing. I'll attach a picture so you can understand what they are. For each connector there's a male and female part. These are nearly identical to the weather-resistant sensor connectors you find on newer cars.
