goodmorning my friends.this is a question very suitable for you in you uk because of the weather. i bought the sonar led lights (like the one from the super turismo thread) but i discovered that all the connections are naked and exposed to water when it rains.also they don't fit exactly to the chassis and they also leave a gap between the metal and the outer side of the lghts.so what is the best way to waterproof them?

heat shrink is the best to use, that is if you can get the connections off then slip the tubing over.

Adhesive lined heat shrink tube would be even better. It's available from electronic component suppliers. e.g. Radio Spares, Maplin or Tandy.

how wide are we talking here, because you can get special applications
I have some downstairs that pre heating has a diameter of 1cm and I really can't see cables being above that!
I've bought various sizes from Radio Spares. Still have some 50mm (unshrunk) diameter that I used to wrap speedometer pulse generators with. I think it was on Ritmo/Stradas (showing my age now). The speedo sensor used to get wet inside so had to break the metal band off to open it to dry it out. Couldn't secure the band again so fixed the 2 parts back together with adhesive lined heat shrink tube. Worked perfectly, and they never got wet again. Even used it whenever I fitted a new sensor.
