wanted tail/brake/signal harness quick connect

So I bought an interesting trunk /top case from flea bay that comes with additional lights for brake, tail, and turn signals.

I'm not sure what I think of the trunk, I may not keep it on all the time. So I'd like to get the lights wired so that they can be removed easily.

I haven't gone to look, it's been a busy week... I did try some Google searches but not finding anything useful for all the noise.

Is there a connect/disconnect point under the rear seat where a tap could be added and removed take it back to stock? Is there a manufactured part that does this?

Don't know about the turn signals, but www.kappaluggage.com have a brake tail kit with harness. I believe it mounts to the case and rack. Making contact when the case is fitted. And disconnects when the case is removed. May be worth an enquiry.

solution

I ended up going down to the auto store and getting a standard five-wire trailer wiring kit and bunch of heat shrink.

I now have a permanent trailer wiring kit under the rear seat unit. I also wired in a covered power adapter socket into the trunk so I can put electronic device back there to charge under lock and key.

Why didn't I think of that before I put it all back together?

The best I am willing to do now is a pic under the seat... may do that tonight when I am roasting some coffee.
