Advice needed: 6+ pin waterproof connector to wire Rigid Third Brake light combo

Good evening!

So, I'm about to pull the trigger on this item for my truck:
https://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Industries-90133-Chase-Tail-Light/dp/B01NCNGODI

Since it will get mounted in front of my spare tire, I need it wired with a connector I can disconnect whenever I have to change the spare. Can anyone recommend a waterproof connector I can use?

It's my understanding that it's got the black/neg wire and five others (brake, running light, reverse, strobe, license plate bulb) for a total of 6 wires.

Thanks for your help: posting this in two places here for advice.

Google this and you'll find exactly what you need, Amazon has them as well, so you can just order it right along with your light...deutsch connector 6 pin

I have used the old style weatherpac connectors for years w/o failure, but there are lots of other options. For a single connector, ebay is a good source.

Some come with pins and you crimp them for a nice clean install, others have short wires already crimped on, which IMO is pretty hack. But I have a set of weatherpac crimpers, so I can be a snob about it. :)
See I told you that you could go blind with all the choices. My preference is Deutsch.

Deutsch is pretty much as good as it gets and not terribly expensive. They’re easily serviceable and easy to plug/unplug. They involve special tools but you can get around that. Just be sure to order with stamped crimp pins instead of barrels. You need special pliers to crimp the barrels correctly.
