Default Lights in saddlebags

Alright guys, I'm ready for the beatings! Old to Harleys, new to this RK. Now that I have all these electronics I've never dealt with before, I saw some saddlebag lights to light up the inside of the bag at night when you're searching for you flashlight. Now, I never thought I would look at something like this, but last night , the old lady was trying to find something in the left bag, so I opened up the right and got out the flashlight for her. She was kidding, but made the comment, "You'd think by now someone would have put a light in the bags." So, I thought, why not? Did you ever ??????

I a use LED puck light that I bought off of some Chinese guy at a flea market. It set me back about 2 bucks and installs with double sided tape. It is about the size of a snuff can. They even come in black or gray to match either ABS or fiberglass bags. You just push the lens to turn it on or off.

HD makes a set of LED's that mount on the bottom of the tour pak over the saddlebags. They work surprisingly well too.
