Default Sportster 48 led turn signal questions

I'm new here and I'm sure there is a thread about this but can't find it.
I have a 2013 sportster 48 and I want to install LED lights for my front and rear both 1157. But I keep seeing that I would need a load equalizer or something cause of the low output of the LED's but then I see that I dont need that, confused but if someone can help me out I'd appreciate it. Also where on my bike do I install a load equalizer and what's a good load equalizer brand?

Thanks in advance!

I didnt want to mess with the load equalizer so I just installed front LED's . You can go through the relearn procedure and it will handle just the fronts fine. The problem is if you add rears also. Thats when you need the equalizer.

you'll want led's all around once you go front or back only. just spring
for the load equalizer. it fits under the seat no issue.
