Default Electra Glo Saddle Bag lights (any good?)

Have the CD fillerz's - been thinking of the Electra Glo Saddle Bag lights - did a search - found several posts talking about 'connector behind the saddle bag, problems' So, now in latter part of 2016 - has HD fixed that or has anyone had any issues with the connector or comments on the saddle bag lights. For me I can never have too much light in the rear, lol

My '14 Limited that I bought last month came with them. No issues or potential for issues that I can see. They are great, they really add visibility especially when braking/turning. I ride with a few other Rushmore Limiteds and after being behind them, the turn signals on the tour pack lights aren't the most visible in broad daylight.

I've had them on my 14 SGS for nearly two years and 17k miles. No issues yet.

Mine are over a year old, and I like them. They really make you visible. Two suggestions:

1. I used a label maker and created a label inside each saddlebag that reads "Unplug saddlebag lights!" with an arrow pointing toward the connectors. Even though I installed them myself, I forget to unplug them once in a while.
2. Coat the connections with dielectric grease. Keeps 'em clean for good contact. I've heard that poor connections have caused a few of them to malfunction until they were cleaned up and greased up.

Yeah, I have a few lights back there. Cell phone doesn't capture the best of videos, but you get the idea.
