You can also use this same grease on exterior light bulb sockets and all electrical connections to prevent corrosion.
No not ALL connections.
Dielectric grease is an insulator.
If the connection is made with flat surfaces,the grease actually can do more harm than good. This is especially true if the contact pressure is light.
Not so fast.
"In regular low voltage multiple-pin circuit connectors, such as automotive applications, flooding with a proper insulating grease of low-viscosity dielectric grease is perfectly acceptable unless a manufacturer recommends against it. The grease should have good stability and not contain metals in any form, and be specifically designed for use as a dielectric grease. This generally is a silicone dielectric grease, although some Teflon based greases are acceptable."
