I see at least one HID upgrade where a braided sleeve was put over some of the wiring, after which the ends were dressed up with heat-shrink.

For durability and abrasion resistance, I think this is a pretty good idea.

What size did/would you use? 1/8"? 1/4" Some of them expand a bit, I realize. I know I can get this stuff on the web in rolls of 100 feet, if I wanted. Smaller lengths are available, too.

I think I'll also use it when I relay my '90 80q's headlights.

Thanks for the info!

The more expanded it is the thinner the coverage, so for this purpose I think bigger is better. 3/8" nominal is just about right.

cableorganizer.com will cut it to length and sell you the heat shrink too.

Yeah, that website was one of the ones that came up in my search.
