You will need a molex crimping tool to re-install the wires. Would be less expensive to just buy a new wiring harness....about $20-$25. And FYI, much of the IceCap stuff is now being sold by CoralVue.

Yea, you can use Needle Nose to crimp the wires into place, its alittle tougher to do, but i've done it before.

Yup, there ya go. Digikey has everything electronic you'd ever need, for future reference. Make sure you crimp the insulation wire on the last lead, or the biggest part of the connection end, this will keep the wire from breaking off when being moved around.
