Hi Everyone , I decided to make a quick disconnect for my MHL. Due that everytime I had to remove my canopy i had to remove wiring nuts from my light to take it off.

So to get started I turned to power off the lights. Grab the wires with the wiring nuts a seperated them. I grab one end of the wire and ran it thru one of the new plug.
