DieElectric Grease
Any harm in applying DieElectric grease to all the connectors under the hood, like the connectors going to your coil packs, head lights, MAF, etc.

Nope, just clean off any excees for neatness sake.
It'll keep all the connections clean and low in resistance.

I believe in using the stuff too. Can't say I have put it on everything but I don't see how it could hurt. Only problem is that any dirt/dust will cling to it so it is important to clean up any overflow from the plug.

Not THAT expensive if you buy it at Wal-Mart or Pep Boys! It's also great on all your weatherstripping too!

No harm at all. Put some in the ends of my plug wires when I changed them recently.

Can it be used also in greater amperage applications like household sockets, drop light plugs, etc.?? Thanks

I wouldn't see why not? Spark Plugs are pretty good amperage. And headlights are 55-65 watts.
Now that you mention it, I have some ceiling fans where it is hard to screw out and in light bulbs, I will try it there. Never thought of it.
