I've seen them before, but can't think of what they are called... and I need to find some.

They are used when you want to connect 2 separate wires. The connector is a little plastic square that has a little cover that opens up. Then you put the 2 wires into the slots and close the cover. Then there is a small metal piece that is on the cover. You squeeze that with pliers and it pierces through the insulation of both wires, making an electrical connection between the two.

anybody know

Actually it's not recommended that you use those (scotch locks, t-taps). Solder or crimp using some good crimps like the Channel Lock 909. I'm a car audio/security installer and I've also done my fair share of gauges and engine management systems. Those connectors are prone to failure. Even worse, they cause an intermittent connection which causes premature failure of your electronics. The vibration, temperature changes, bumps, stop and go, moisture etc in a car require good solid electronic connections. You don't see any t-taps from the factory, do you?
