Default LED lights flicker/pulse

i have changed my rear turn signals from incandecents to LEDs and added a load equalizer. i also have the run/turn/brake module. the lights flash as they should with the load equalizer installed, but they flicker/pulse a little when on steady as running lights. i also notice that when the turn signals flash the brake light dims briefly. the load equalizer i installed was the cheapest kuryakyn unit i could get with a 2 amp load. do i need a better equalizer, one with more or less load?
also note i have the equalizer upstream or battery side of the run/turn/brake module per the instructions that came with it.

Please post when you have time. I have the plug n play run/brake/turn harness installed from kury as well as their panacea led smoked out turns in the back. Hopefully I wont have to do much hacking on my bike.

Is the connector for the load equalizer tight?

I know im resurrecting an old thread, but i was hoping to learn what i need to do to make a resistor pack so i can keep rear LEDs from flickering. Maybe JRK5892 can answer or anyone really???

Thanks in advance!
