Waterproof Connectors - Help

Well the search feature is OTL so here goes. Since I put the custom LED lights in my bags, they are now "hard wired" if you will and I want to put in a set of waterproof connectors so that removing the bags for maintenance, cleaning etc will be a snap. Looking for a small "click type" connector that won't come apart once it's locked in. I've thought of the deutsche connectors but I am not going to spend a small fortune on the tools. It's for a one time use. Any thoughts? I've looked at the local auto parts store and all they've got are the "trailer type" connectors and they are a bit on the big side.

Thanks

Tom, a Philmore WS26 crimping tool, 7.99 from Fry's Electronics (also available from other internet vendors) works well for crimping Deutsch/AMP/Molex connectors--I bought one and have done 100+ crimps of varying sizes with this and it works well.
