  • I didn't use any connectors on mine. I just twisted the bare pairs together, shrink wrapped them and added a bit of electrical tape for paranoia.

  • I'm shit at mechanics, and I've got the connectors so thought I may as well try and do a decent job as I'm not looking to be fucking around with it again. Did get some rubber tubing which I'm going to cut down and see if I can make the connector a bit more water resistant..

  • Unless you plan on using the connectors to removing/reinstall lights on other bikes, I don't see the point in using connectors. You're effectively adding another point of failure into the mix. Get proper heatshrink from Maplins, insert it onto wire before you join it, join wires, slide heatwrap over join, use lighter to GENTLY shrink it. Mine has been flawless.

  • I have all of the shrink wrap stuff you could need. Happy to lend a hand if you are in the hood. (Plus you can pick up the wireless extension if you still need it)
