How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

Update on my lights btw:
The good news here is that the hazard lights now work, according to my friends father who was working on it, the 'relay was pulled'. That and the flasher relay was also replaced (it merely blinks faster now).

The bad news: The turning signal lights still do not work as intended, if I try and use either directional, both sides light up as if they were being used as hazard lights. (As shown in the video)

I have no idea what else at this point, the hazard lights switch in the steering column now works, but, the turning signals dont as they should, which is annoying to say the least.

If anyone has any suggestions, please do tell, id like to be able to use my turning signal again.

Is there a way to make a better end point for those two red wires? Hate how they slid out so easily.

How its supposed to be wired/wired to what:

Get You one of those hand held bead blasters from Harbor Fright, ooops, freight.
Give them internal connectors a good blasting with the wires pulled out, blow off the beads with the air compressor and a blow gun then use a good anti corrosive compound like Truck-Lite NYK and dose them up real good.
Thats hiw I fixed connection issues with my MG and have not had a problem since, been at least fifteen years.
 
on your connector you have a couple of options. for a more factory look, see those other connectors on the same panel that have the plastic clips? venture out to a JY and snip a couple of them off another rig. spice them into the two wires and clip them into the block. other option is to find a keyed hot and splice into it by soldering in a inline fuse and running to those wire..
