Default HID wiring question

So I have 8k HIDs and on one side, the connection in this plus part with a red wire and a black wire, then plug to another red and black wire. it will turn on sometimes and if it dosent i just pop the hood and wiggle the red wire usually to where it cuts on. Im wondering if i can just get rid of the plug what so ever and just wire the red to red and black to black with some wire caps. or any other suggestions?

here are some pics

all you want to do is remove the plugs and hardwire?
Yes - you can do that.

DO NOT DO

just keep the plug
Plugs are for safety to help prevent shorts. Just makes sure the wires are secure. Sounds like you have a loose connection or wire if all you need to do is wiggle it to make it come on.

Are you freaking kidding me?
Since when was a plug a safety device for shorts?
Those devices are called FUSES.

Connectors are used to establish a NON permanent connection between wires.
You can SAFELY remove every connector in your car, house, airplane, cellphone... etc.
To SAFELY hardwire in a car you only need solder and heat shrink tubing along with some skill.

so deleting the plug and wire tie each wire together with a wire cap and electrical tape would not be suffecient?
