Default T5 reverse light

I am trying to find 2 nuts to fit the studs that come out of the reverse light switch on a t5 transmission. These are the studs that the 2 wires connect to. Does anybody know what size / thread pitch these nuts are?

Yeah, I'd just modify and use a 64 1/2 power brake switch extension harness.

I went to the boneyard and snipped one off a Fox body Mustang for my T-5 and spliced it into my line. Nice thing about the ones from the Fox body cars is that they come with a protective boot that snaps over the switch to keep water off the contacts.

If I remember correctly, although they look treaded they are actually just ridges on those studs. A nut won't work. Junk yard is your best bet for the push on connector.
