Thanks so much!  I dug out my old plate lamps and realized the wires came out of the lamp and went back to the harness up near the front trunk edge .   If I’m correct, I think each lamp wire set (red and black) runs up each side of the car to harness connectors. Rather than running in synch to one side of the car.   I didn’t install the new harness and have forgotten when I took it out 8 years ago.  Was supposed to be done in 2.  I’ll pull the back trunk panel to expose harness and see if I can get it worked out.  I like your idea of the bullet connectors.

I put some pics of the car in the garage getting finished.  Hopefully you can click through to them if interested. Just click and then click continue to website and they should be there.
