Those are the connections for my rear brake light switch,

White block is fitted to the bike, bullet connectors are on new switch

Need to acquire parts Thursday to fit Thurs evening and ride to work on Fri

Do I just walk into Halfords / Maplins and buy any connector that'll do the job and wire up?

Is crimping ok or should I be looking to solder as well (I had a soldering iron, no idea where it is)

Should I just look to match the bullet connectors and convert the bike to accept the newer part?

Sorry to kind of duplicate the post in workshop, just need an answer fast

I would buy the cheapest pair of connectors that you can find in the shop. They'll likely be sold in pairs. Crimping will be fine.

So long as whatever you put on there is reasonably water-protected, and doesn't fall apart easily, you'll be fine.
