I know I brought this up about 8 months ago and I finally got around to doing it. I went to Parts Train and ordered 4 US Auto Parts Network 4 wire universal sensors for $156 including shipping and I picked up two 8-pair packs of weather proof connectors. I pulled the old sensors out and cut the plug ends off about 6" down the wire. I put the connectors on the wires and plugged them together and plugged the sensors back into the car. Since I put the weatherproof connectors on, next time I only have to put female connectors on a new sensor and plug it in.

They have been running beautifully for the past 2K miles and I'll report back as they age. It sure was nice to replace all 4 sensors for the price of 1 of the exact replacement sensors.
