I have unterminated wire ends(exposed wires). What is the best and safest way to connect these ends together? Twist the wires together and wrap them with electrical tape? Thanks in advance!

I think so long as you don't have exposed connections, they are almost all acceptable forms of connetion.

I personally, bought covered crimp connections and after connecting them, wrapped them in electrical tape, then they were fed inside black corrugated tubing. My thoughts were, that way if I had to ever remove the ballast (cleaning, bad ballast, upgrades...etc.) I didn't have to cut and splice again.

a good way is to crimp the wires together and then use heat shrink over it
simplest way is to use wire nuts
i think thats what theyre called
you just put two wires together and screw them on
