+1, those scotch clips are horrible. The inventor deserves a neck punch.

Cut and solder, or at the very least use a weatherproof heat shrink crimp connector.

Mine is an 05 train, and I used the blue wire for my plate light, black is ground. The connector for the rear wiring should be under the seat on the right side near the battery.

For all the times you've fixed them, I've used them without problem. I wouldn't rely on them for anything important, but for LED plate lighting and the rear running light, they'll do. The OP can do whatever he wants, it's his ride.
