Default water tight electrical plug?

I'm wanting to put a total of six lights on top of the jeep bolted to a roof rack. I would like it to be easily removable so I'm looking for some type of water tight plug that I could use. Any ideas on something to use?

Amphenols or CPCs. They're designed for this sort of thing.

Amphenols have metal housings, CPCs are plastic (CPC = Circular Plastic Connector.) They lock in place with screw collars, and can be had with varying configurations of circuit connectors.

You can get bulkhead connectors with weather caps without too much trouble. Amphenols are spendy, CPCs are less so, both are excellent.
