Is there a commercially available connector that a fellow could use on the headlight pigtail. I could replace the wire to the headlights with one continuous wire without a connection but then that creates a problem if I want to pull the headlight bucket out for any reason. I can make a connector if I have to but some nice neat 2 prong plug would probably be cleaner.

Del: The factory provided for that eventuality/possibility by having a connector block on the firewall, right near the left head light. Two terminals for the headlight wires: one for the red wires and one for the black. No need for an extra connector (in my opinion):

That is my intent if I don’t come up with a decent connector. And it isn’t that difficult to pull the wires should I need to remove the complete bucket at some point. Just need a couple of grommets and done.

Del if you really wanted a 2 pin connector, there are these:
