Default (LED) Front and Rear blinker load equalizer

I'm going from stock to LED on all 4 blinkers. 2003 FLHRCI

Anyone know if I will need load equalizer on both sets of lights (the front and rear)?

I have heard some say front will not need equalizer but I don't know how that can be. My guess is I will need load equalizer for front and another for rear blinkers.

Any recommendations on lamps? Load equalizers?

Thank you.

I think one equalizer will handle all of the turn signals. They all operate on the same circuit.

One of these smart techs. Told me each set would need a load equalizer. I would think they all work together, meaning same circuit. I suppose when I get home I'll check the schematic.

one for the left side one for the right. Do not put it ahead of the TSM.

Call custom dynamics and get a system stabilizer for your particular bike. It does not generate heat and will handle all lights on the bike. Plug and play.

Ok so if I install only rear LED blinkers I will need 2 load equalizers (left and right) also or does your answer apply if I install 4 led blinkers? I'll research this one more.
All the installs on you tube and according to some vendors there is only one load equalizer for the rear lights.

So far custom dynamics has what I need.
1 Stabilizer will work for all 4 blinkers.

Anyone else have recommended vendors?

I'm always getting excellent replies on this forum!
