yep...they do exist...that's what i used. only hard part is that you can't feed the harness through the fender hole, make the connections, then push it back in like you might have been able to w/ the spade type. i loosened the fenderwell liner by removing a couple of the screws near the sidemarker hole and then reached behind it while laying on my back on the ground. it's working somewhat blind, but it's relatively easy to find the end of the harness in the fender and then find the socket to plug it in to.
based on the pictures in the FAQ how-to, the sidemarker socket is identical to mine but the wiring harness i got didn't have anything that remotely resembled the spade terminal thing. it just had two wires that disappeared into a round black plastic/rubber plug...it's been a while, and i didn't bother trying to pull it apart, so maybe the spade terminals are just hidden inside. don't think so, but anything's possible...
