PRODUCT DETAILS
Lifeline Rain Light Pigtail Set - 3-Pin Deutsch DTM (LYF-RAIN-0013)
Installing a rain light controller means terminating a 3-pin Deutsch DTM connector, and Deutsch pins need a specific crimp tool and some skill to do right. This preassembled pigtail set skips that entirely. The connectors come already properly terminated, so you splice them in rather than crimping Deutsch pins yourself. If you're wiring in a controller for your Lifeline rain light and don't have the tool or the experience, this is how you get a clean, reliable connection.
It Saves You The Deutsch Crimp Tool
The whole reason this exists, so it's worth being clear.
Deutsch DTM connectors are excellent, sealed, locking, and reliable, which is why motorsport wiring uses them. But terminating them correctly requires a proper Deutsch crimping tool, which is an expensive purchase for a one-time job, and doing it by hand without the right tool gives you unreliable pins that can back out or lose contact.
On a safety light, an unreliable connection is exactly what you don't want. This pigtail set comes fully preassembled with the pins already properly crimped into a 3-pin Deutsch DTM plug and receptacle, so all you do is splice the wires in. You get the quality of a proper Deutsch connection without owning the tool or having done it before.
How It Wires In
The pigtail set is defined for correct hookup between your chassis and the rain light.
Chassis connector (3-pin Deutsch DTM plug):
- Pin 1: red, +12V from the on/off switch
- Pin 2: blue, +12V from the brake switch
- Pin 3: brown, chassis ground
Rain light connector (3-pin Deutsch DTM receptacle):
- Pin 1: red, to the Lifeline red wire
- Pin 2: green, to the Lifeline green wire
- Pin 3: black, to the Lifeline black wire
The wiring pulls power from both your on/off switch and your brake switch, which is what lets a behavior adapter control the light differently when running versus braking. Wire length is 305mm (12"), giving you enough to route and splice cleanly.
Part Of The Rain Light Setup
Where this fits in the bigger picture.
A complete Lifeline rain light install has a few pieces: the rain light itself, a behavior adapter that sets whether it flashes or stays solid, and the wiring to connect it all. This pigtail set is that wiring, the clean way to terminate the Deutsch connections without specialized tools.
If you're installing the light and controller and want proper connectors without buying a crimp tool, this is the piece that makes the wiring straightforward.
