I would not suggest using any kind of crimp connectors on a headlamp connection. Been replacing them on the hoods of Mack Trucks for years, with solder joints. Even if they are coated with Mass dosses of die-electric grease, they will still corrode in a matter of time, and bye- bye head lights, turn signals, what ever. solder the joint, and use heat shrink tubing over the repair and the connection is permanent, done , finito. Crimp connectors are a quick fix measure, at best, and are junk in the long run. They will let you down, at an inopportune moment! I like doing a job once and be done with it!
