I want to add lighting to the rear trunk on my 1996 GL1500SE. I removed the service panel from the bottom of the tail trunk to find two small green two-pin connectors in the harness that have 12vdc when the ignition is on. They look like auxiliary lighting connections for some models. My question: does anyone know where I can find the mating male two-pin connector that fits with those existing connectors?
Thanks for any help!
Steve

Have you considered also adding a mirror? And a vanity basin? Hair dryer? TV?
But in all seriousness, does anyone know what feeds those two connectors, and therefore how much current it's safe to draw from that circuit please?
