ABC designed these safety shims to close the gap between plug and socket, reducing movement, keeping out moisture and dirt, and extending the usable life of both the plug and the receptacle. The shims are injection-molded from a reinforced polypropylene blend for durability in extreme temperatures and rough conditions, and they install in seconds without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these shims keep my tail lights working reliably?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shims create a snug mechanical fit around standard pigtail plugs, stopping the plug from rocking or backing out under vibration.
