Glad you have it finally sorted.
FWIW when I fitted a new Autosparks loom to my Land Rover it came with new bullet connectors as per original, although they were a little economical with female ones so had to reuse some from old loom towards the end of installation. All had gone well as I tested the new loom section by section until I connected up the rear lights. Had to remake one brake light connection three times before it was sorted
