What I was planning on doing was attaching male spade connectors to the wires and just plugging them into the stock plugs. I haven't done my install yet so there may be a reason this is not possible or desired.
I believe I saw on Summit racing adapter plugs from Denso to Bosch. That might be a preferred method. The heat shrinks we ship have glue in them to better de-stress and strengthen the crimp joint.
