Default DK led lights - question

Hi Guys,
I have been reading all the good reviews on the DK led lights . Just bought and installed the lights today in my headlight and passing lights. The lights are bright and white - so I just went on a ride to see how well they worked in the dark , as soon as I put my bike in gear the red light came on my speedo. I already had led turning and brakes lights on my bike. Am I pulling too much voltage or what would cause the red light to go on? My bike is a 13 Deluxe.

Your ECU isnt detecting enough current being drawn by the LED lights.
The LED's use way less power than the OEM lights.
You need to contact DK and arrange to get and install a load equalizer.
