I used this product today and WOW! It's the BEST EVER! I don't sell them but wish I had invented it.

Yep, I use these on my truck/topper/shell for the third brake light. Makes removal and install a snap. Not weather proof but I haven't had a problem.

Great idea! I've been looking for something that's even easier to use than the 3M Scotchlok. So now I'm thinking I will switch to using these on my auto on sport button kit.

Thank you AutoXCooper!

On a related topic, there's a great product I've only seen appear in the past year or so. Many of you are familiar with Quick Splice devices that are used to splice an extra wire into the middle of an existing wire:

Radio Shack now has Quick Splices that attach a female connector to the existing wire. Your extra wire(s) goes on a male connector for quick connect/disconnect. Such a simple and useful idea that seems so obvious in retrospect. $1.99 for a 3-pack.

Those may be new to Radio Shack, but I was using the heck out of them 20+ years ago doing car alarm installations, and they weren't new then. They're called "T-taps", or less-commonly, "quick slide connectors":
