I ordered the euro version of the tail lights and am on my second set replaced once under warranty. These lights are too soft and floppy and destroy themselves just going down cleared single track. They flap up and down like a birds wings and separate the over mold from the short threaded stem inside, then they just fall apart and dangle from the wiring… I’ve only ridden the bike a couple times and this is going to be a constant issue.. has anyone else had these issues?

yes, in germany they fail frequently. We stick together in a WA group and almost everybody who installed them had connection issues after a few hours. But the latest update they sent seems to be a bit stiffer. Personally I use these ones: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BQHMTCNZ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

So are you just cutting the factory leads and splicing these in, or are the varg electrical connectors available somewhere? Those plugs are rather unique.

Most of us in the US do not install the rear blinkers...
I didn’t install the US version, they are ridiculous, but the euro version is not too bulky…they just are not durable enough to actually use. They would be perfectly fine if the overmold was more rigid but they are made of super soft rubber and they flap like wet noodles.
