Wiring 3 to 1 Question

[Engineer]

For all the wiring experts on the board, I recently wired up the 4runner with a bussemann fusebox/relay combo controled by contra V switches in the cab. I ran 18ga. control wires to the relays and 12ga to the accecessorys. For my rear lights (2x rigid SR's) I am puzzled as to the best way to wire each light pair of wires to the single pair I have for control. I looked for some sort of junction box or a "jumper" for my weatherpack connectors and didn't have any luck.

Options as I see them:

*Some unknown junction connector/jumper set up
*Strip, Twist, Solder, Shrink and go....
*Butt Splice connector, Solder and Shrink

Not a huge fan of option 2 or 3, in all likely hood either would be fine but I much prefer the automotive style connectors (such as weather pack)

I wired up some LEDs under the Toy and used marine heat shrink butt connectors with solder in them, then covered with marine heat shrink tubing. If you don't plan on disconnecting them, it's a pretty secure connection and unlikely to have water intrusion.

Thanks, I am leaning a similiar direction as I dont think what I was hoping for exsists and it will still be removable as I am making a harness to go betwen the lights and the wires running through the rear hatch grommet. I am sure a quality butt connector with solder and wrapped will hold up just fine for my use, and if it fails no kittens will die.....

I've been using those, they're on Amazon too. They're pretty good for the price, and as you noted, no kittens will die if they fail.
