Sydney, Oz
Quoted from CNKay:What heatshrink tubing,??
16.0/8.0
I like the clear for two reasons. Firstly things still look stock and it means you can do a selection of problem bulbs and they don't stand out. And secondly, I find the clear feels more "grippy" than coloured, so I have a feeling it is holding the bulb better. I have not tested this though, it is just a subjective feeling.
Edit-- ahhh, I see what you did there. Sorry for the literal take at first read. 
Quoted from alveolus:? What is the diameter?
16.0/8.0(mm)
Quoted from alveolus:So, the tubing has a rectangular cross section rather than circular?
Heat shrink sizes are quoted in before-diameter/ after-diameter. So 16/8 is 16mm before shrink, 8mm after.
Quoted from frunch:So, is this the correct size for the clear heat shrink?

That looks to be 8/4 and will be too small.
