Depends on how good its got to be, some are simple, not every connection demands tha same attn., heat tubing etc and in fact rarely use it. For connections where its a real issue usually enclose the stuff in a box and use wire nuts with them sitting up, after they are installed I spray the pee in them with a straw and whiz a little around inside the box. The stuff capillaries down the wire and keeps water away, even under constant road grime and pressure washing they often look new if they are removed a decade later.
Heat shrink is about like powder coat, water often seems to get under it and once it does its a hidden problem. Another simple way is a wire nut full of silicone, I pre twist and its a done deal.
Some of these were put together piecemeal, but they work well and will come apart if the screws were sprayed when installed. I smear a little goo around the top and sides of box, leave a drain in the bottom.
Boxes can cover mounting studs and it they use bolts often turn them around and put nuts inside the fixtures.
