Silicone dielectric grease should be easily available at your local auto parts store or via Amazon etc.

Go easy on the silicone grease it will cause your wires to push apart if you apply too much and create pressure. A little goes a long way. That being said I always silicone dielectric grease every bike I get when new. Just put enough to coat the connectors lightly.
