If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

I'm just learning it now!  Cal has really helped tremendously, through the thread and PM as well.  Can't thank you enough! 

And thanks for the good words, everyone!  Means a lot

I just reread the thread (all of them prior to casting BOTM vote).  Those connectors are pretty trick, too!

Thanks a lot!  I'm so glad I made the plunge on using them now.  The piece of mind is what I wanted, going forward if I need to make any changes or add something I will know exactly what I need and where to add it. 

After the up front tool cost, the cost of the connectors and pins is actually pretty affordable.  I just wish I would have had a buddy that had the crimper that I could borrow

But how it crimps both the terminal and the seal to their proper crimp all in one pull was genius, really sped the process along and gave perfectly consistent terminations.

RAF, thanks! the small strip and my round LED tail lights are both RadiantZ products.  I've had a few things from them, all very bright and I haven't had any issues with them.
