Since you quoted my post, I'll give an update.
Just over 13k miles now, and still no issues.
Still on the original bulbs.

I call BS on the dealer. I have had the same issue on my 2011 Fatboy Lo. 6 bulbs in 11 months. Complained to 1 HD dealer and they told me it is normal. Finally took it somewhere else, and they said the small harness was bad. They waranteed and replaced it. Have not had a chance to ride it yet due to snow.Will know more in the next few weeks.

any updates on tail light blowing bulbs?

My 2012 Streetglide has been eating the left rear tail light - the last one lasted 10 seconds LOL…

Im not a electrical wizard so any advise other than taking to the Stealership would be appreciated..

Maybe just ask Santa for a case of bulbs - LOL
