Default Electrical Connectors for Quick Detach

Just got the Easy Brackets for my hardbags so now their gonna be detachable -- cool. My bags have built in rear lights so I've gotta figure out a way to make those easily detachable too. So far I've got these waterproof connectors (pic attached) and I suppose they'll work. But I'm thinking there's gotta be something even better. These do detach but it's close quarters behind the bags and I'm wondering if any of you guys have a better idea.

I use these for lots of projects...
Will also connect to your battery tender cable.

The pic shows two of the same connectors...
But the actual connectors do properly line up wire colors...

Xuallus...I scrolled on down the page of your link and I LIKE what I see....
Might have to buy a couple of their square 4 wire connectors...thanks for
the link.

Good suggestions -- thanks! I went to Radio Shack last night and picked up a couple of those accessory cables. Just haven't installed them yet. I am guessing I should have the ends connect inside the bags -- cleaner, drier and easier to get to.
As for the Easy Brackets, I don't know about the "10 minutes to install" (especially doing it alone), but there isn't anything difficult about it and I really like them.
