Default Help with L.E.D

Hi all I am in the process of doing a lot of customizing on my fat bob. I am putting a bagger extended rear fender on it and a set of bags off a 10 road king police bike. I bought a set of 3 wire each L.E.D lights to install on rear fender they will be all in one running/brake/turn signal they are 12 inch single wide strips. one for left and one for right. I guess the main question is do I need to install a converter or anything. My buddy put a set of leds on the rear of his road king and when he turns the signals on they flash way to fast. Any help on this would be apprecitated.

I think what you are looking for is a load equalizer. That should fix that issue.

Oh yea I forgot about that. The touring models need the load equalizers. You shouldn't have the same problem your buddy is having.

Yep. Made my switch to LEDs a hell of a lot easier than my old man's FLHX.

What about an 09 Lowrider? Would I need a load equalizer?
