    I do not have the the Honda lights, I have the Tridium lights from Big Bike Parts. Their crimp-type connection that connects the wire to the light leaves a lot of room for failure after a short period of time, it appears. I ended up cutting their connectors off and soldering everything together and then sealing it up with shrink tubing. As Olegoat noted, that is vulnerable area for impacts, moisture, dirt, dust, etc. All bad news for electrical connections.

    I have the remote saddlebag lid kit that I have yet to install. I will be soldering those connections as well.

    The wiring and connectors with that package leave a lot to be desired.
