I have 3 very small wires that need to be connected like a butt connector but able to be disconnected like a bullet connector. These are indicator light wires and are very very small. What connector would you electrical experts recommend?

If what you pictured goes through an 8MM hole, and you wanted to replace the light assembly as some point, I would suggest single bullet connectors which after a quick search shows they make them in under 8mm diameters.

I found this that matches your picture but I don't know for sure if it is what you are wanting to use:


It seems to me I've done something like this before but I would crimp on an 8MM or smaller female connector on the ground wire of the indicator bulb and then a male which should be smaller in it's outside diameter crimped onto the positive wire of the indicator light.

When assembly time comes, take the backup nut and lockwasher off of the indicator light assembly and slip one wire and connector through the nut and washer and then do the other. Both will not pass at one time.

Now, put the basic indicator light through the dash hole, and then on the backside pass one wire though the lights lock washer and then the other and then do the same, one wire at a time adding on the lock nut.

You can then plug in the male bullet terminal on the light assemblies power wire to a female bullet connector off of your harness and then plug in the male bullet off of the light assembly to a female bullet connector which would be a ground wire out of the cars wiring harness.

If you were to get non-insulated single wire crimp connectors, you could add heat shrink over things to prevent shorts.

You 100% have the concept of what I need and what i'm doing. Yes, 8mm so the smallest bullet connector I can find is what I need.
That link I had in my reply from microwings have 2MM ones ?.

Here are some 3MM sold in 10 pairs:


While I do not know you full plan, if these indicator lights are going into a panel along with other lights and stuff is still maybe put the small indicators on small single wire disconnects or maybe just bolt them in and extend the wires to a larger multiple wire connector so that you could wire up your panel on a bench with let's say left and right turn signal indicators, a high beam indicator, a low oil pressure light, a high temperature light, a gear shift indicator light, and who knows what and have this going to one master multipin connector (like 12 pin connector or maybe larger for future use additions ?) to where you could then walk out to the car, plug in one master electrical connector and bolt the panel in place.
