I put some light on the tool box of my truck but I sometimes I need to take the box out to hall big loads. I used a Tomar waterproof connector just on the outside of the box so I can take it off easily. I also have other old connectors I put on to protect the plugs when the box is off the truck. I pulled out the wires of the old plugs and pluged the holes with syclone sealant to keep everything try.
