Default LED Signals and Load Equalizer

Hi, my new (to me) 2008 FXDL came with a integrated LED taillight and there are no problems with hyper flashing. Does this mean I can convert the front signals to LED and not have an issue?

2009 FXDF, probably very similar in terms of electrical characteristics / systems.
I found LED bulbs to PHYSICALLY FIT all the sockets including front and rear turn signals, headlights, tail and brake light.

Everything worked fine without flashing EXCEPT the front turn signals. They flashed like crazy from the time I turned to IGN.
I don't know if everyone would see the same or if it's dependent on individual system characteristics / components / wiring.
I had to use stock incandescent bulbs in the front turn signals.

You will need a load balancer for the front ones.
