Not sure but I would think so. If I were concerned, I would pop in a regular bulb and see for myself. Couldn't take more than a minute or 2.

If there was an inline(wired) load equalizer then the unit could be over taxed by the increased wattage/amp demand.
If you read most load equalizer "papers" they will include a rating and most electrical ratings are low because they are designed for LED.
The second problem would be if someone installed a module that required LED lights, such as some run, turn and brake modules. The increased load of a regular bulb could overheat the module and destroy it.
Auto parts have plenty of LED bulbs in stock, in an emergency situation a quick change-out will get you functional...might get an error code, error light or a rapid flash blinker but it will get you going and visible.
Not a bad question since stuff does break...I have seen plenty of 100,000 hour LED's give-up the ghost..The LED itself are good but the electronics or connections in the bulb die making the bulb inoperable and unfixable for most..Easy to see if you notice the third LED brake light strip on some cars.

My thoughts would be similar in that it would cause an increased load if there was an inline(wired) load equalizer installed.

Great answer
