I am and yes, they work very well. Especially with their strobe box that allows you to dial in one of several strobe patterns which really alerts other motorists that you're braking.
Yes, Brake and Turn . . . . love them! Well worth the visibility they add to rear of bike.
Short video of my CD plasma rods, tri-bar, tail lights and strobe box feature in action. I opted for red lenses (including the tri-bar), for maximum visibility, although I do think the smoked lenses look better.

I shaped two pieces of 1/8" thick aluminum to fit the contour of the chrome pieces that are underneath the filler panels and bolted them to it.

Well the filler strips have a curved shape which would make mounting less than ideal. I have been eyeing the plasma rods and since I have the bag mounted lights, I could (in theory) just tap into the wires coming from the bag lights so there isn't another set of wires to unplug while removing the saddlebags. It's not so much about ease of install/removal of the saddlebags, it's more about fiddling with wires while supporting a $1000 painted piece of plastic to me.

You can mount them on he filler strips if you like. That is of course the easiest way to do it, but to me the brackets provide solid backing. In addition, if you ever need to remove the rear fender or filler strips, it'll be much easier because you won't have to disconnect the wiring for the plasma rods like azglocker said.
I was going to get the HD lights for the bags, but thought I'd save some bucks on the plasma rods. May go back to the original plans. I had the HD lights on my Road King & loved them
Get both! Or which ever you like better. I always want more lights so I've been exploring options for adding more light front side and rear then I'll update the existing incandescent signals. Harleys lighting options aren't cheap but they are well done.
