Default question about HID kits

i installed a HID kit from ebay. Nissangtrpower is the seller. The kit is nice but i noticed that 2 of the connection are bare with no water proof protection. They seem fine because it rained like crazy today with not problem. The metal connection just slide in with no protection. Anyone else have this?? tks guys

I've heard from more than one member that this is a very good kit? Any input in that respect?

Gotta get in and seal mine up a little. When I was in Bowling Green a few weeks back I got pretty wet and the driver side lamp would light and then shut off in about 30 seconds or so. While dry they work perfectly. Little bit of heat shrink and I should be fine.
