Been trying to look for these plastic sleeves but I’m not sure what they’re exactly called. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Clear heat shrink. Probably 20 or 22AWG. You can get a whole set of them at an auto parts store. Don’t use a lighter to shrink the tube, use a heat gun, or if you have no other option use a soldering iron.

    The lighter will heat up too fast, and depending on the shrink rate will tear the tube, and you’ll damage the wire insulation.

    I dont know what exactly they used there, but any kind of heatshrink tubing of the correct diameter would probably work. Its just a thin tubing that shrinks to something like half its original diameter when you heat it (carefully with a lighter if you dont have a heatgun) You can get those in any color or transparent if you want.
