Cliff, go to your local auto parts discount store and check out their
selection of trailer light connectors.  The most common one you will
find is flat, supports 4 conductors and is polarized.  

Have 8 rotator wires?  Buy two sets and use colored heat shrink or tape
or get a can of your favorite color of spray paint and paint one
matching pair some nice  color.  

Works for me.
