Identify this connector (KC Daylighter)

Can anyone tell me what type of connector this is? It is what is fitted to KC Daylighter spotlamps. I have bought a 2nd hand pair from ebay and I don't want to have to buy a KC wiring harness when I have the cable, switches, relays etc to make my own. Don't really want to cut the connectors off either and use spades/bullets.

I should have looked harder, it's a Deutsch DT04-2P. ( It was stamped on the side)

If they are 130w I'd not be using an .econoseal connector personally. (Not sure it is either but if it is I looks like it's male.

130w divided by 14.2v running engine voltage = 9.1A draw each.
IIRC Econoseals are supposed to be 8A max current draw.

If they are 100w though they would be just under but personally I'd go for connectors of a higher rating.
Myself I have pre insulated spade terminals taped with a quality self amalgamating lectrical tape. Never let water in or caused me an issue in years now.
It also gives you the best current flow and less voltage drop by keeping the wire and connectors large.
I think I run 2.5mm or 3mm thinwall cable up to mine for maximum current flow.

Deutsch DT042P-CE02 are rated to 13A continuous per pin.

If you need them, they can be sourced from Farnell.
