A soldering iron is a basic tool and with some practice you'll be able to change the connectors yourself easily. Jaycar NZ have several options, get a higher power iron with a chisel tip for use with these kind of connectors. https://www.jaycar.co.nz/80-watt-240...-iron/p/TS1485 is a good basic iron for this job.

The problem with the caged banana plugs in the adapter that glennhl posted above is that they don't make the most solid connection compared with a regular bullet- especially for something that will be out bounced around inside a truck.
Caged banana plugs are fine for what this guy needs.
