Wire nuts are for interior wiring, they will come loose from vibration.

@Achto prefers scotch locks but I prefer to solder western union splices and shrink wrap or properly crimped butt connectors.

I've had good luck with just a plain old butt connector with the heat shrink casing on it

I've been using these heat shrink splices that have solder in them.  They are the "Cats Meow"! 

But it does take a good hot heat gun to get it hot enough to melt the solder in them.

I've used wire nuts in the past and shot silicone caulk into the connector... locks up the connection, waterproof, and was what I had on hand... never had an issue going on 5 years winter plowing...
