Replacing tail light
I am replacing the whole tail light on my camper because the license plate holder broke off of it. I have it taken off and have the wires ready to go back on but seem to not be able to crimp the wire ...

since when do you crimp wire nuts? two separate devices for connecting wires.
I thought the same thing at first but remembered these:

That’s not a wire nut. A wire nut has a coil for twisting. That is just a crimp fitting with a sleeve that has to be crimped. Would be a bad thing to confuse the two.
You’re right. They are what I pictured in my mind when the OP called them wire nuts and when you google for “crimp wire nut” those come up so I got what the OP was talking about. I see them called closed end crimp and crimp caps too which are probably better names.
