Default LED tail light help please

I wired up some led tail lights from a rocker, on my wide glide. The lights are running lights, blinker, and brake in one. I have everything working, but if you have a blinker on, and then hit the brakes, the led tail light stops blinking, but the front keeps blinking. Any ideas? Is this what a load equalizer is for?

You need a run turn stop module so that the light on the side your turning will keep blinking. Kuryakyn makes them for one, J&P has them in stock. Easy plug and play under the seat, no more than 40$ I think.

They're LEDs.

Usually, the lack of an equalizer will speed up the flash cadence. If only one end (front OR rear are changed, the flash will speed up a bit, but still be useful.

I just put led in the rear only. They work perfect. I wastold because or the dual filament that u have to use 1157 vs 1156. The 57 has two contact points on the base vs 1 on the 56. Like I said, the ones I got work perfect. 13 streetbob btw.

They blink fine, and running lights work, the blinker just stops blinking when I hit the brake. The tail lights I used are 2 circuit, so I'm not sure if a stop run module will work.

The reason for this was a fender change , so I no longer have the center tail light.
