As seen in the pictures, I need the pigtail style connected to the other style. It needs to be fully weather proofed and safe as this is wiring for a light bar on my Jeep Wrangler. So please let me know how to safely do so, rather than just shoving the two together! Thanks in advance80B6FCDE-5EEB-4027-8F4D-89FA406BE95E.jpeg77D8B64D-6011-49B5-9C67-D605AE3DAFCF.jpeg21BD5BE8-15BB-41E8-88BC-A0087CCCA95B.jpeg
 
Do they need to be removable? If not then I would cut the connectors off and solder the joints. And use heatshrink sleeving (ideally adhesive-lined) over each joint, and then over the lot. This will be the most reliable and weatherproof method.
 
If you want it demountable... then as Tel says + some contralube inside it all before you tape it up. If it can be a permanent connection... then I'd do a proper solder joint before heat shrinking it.
