Hello
Does anyone know if there is a plug at radio shack or anywhere that you can use to plug into the lamp it self It is a Hella FF worklamp

Thanks

Need more information. What is the application? Do you want to tap the 12VDC power supply? Or is it for quick disconnect of the lamp? If the latter, it should be fairly easy to find a connector, just make sure it's rated for the current draw.

The lamp is mounted to my roof rack in the rear when I bought it. I plan to hook it up to a Factory switch in the cab. So all I need to get is the plug that goes into the lamp itself I could call Hella but will have to buy the whole wiring kit. I was wandering if you can just buy the plug somewhere. If all fails I will call Hella.
Thanks Brian

Worse case if you can't find (or don't want to pay for the Hella plug)- just goto any auto parts place and pickup a male/female connector set (many kinds to choose from) and splice them into the existing harness. Should only cost you a couple bucks. If your connection is outside - use a GM weatherpak connector (also at any auto parts place)

Most likely hella uses a proprietary connector. If you're lucky it'll be standard one you can find at an electronics shop...probably have to go to nerdier places than rad shack.

I'd say save yourself the hassle and do like Bill suggests. Very easy solution.
