Default Hyper flash question

`99 RK so pre CANBUS
1 I wish to install LED turn signal bulbs
2 I do not wish to install resistors nor an equalizer device

Will ONLY the dash indicator lamp go hyper or the actual signals themselves

Thank you

they will all do the same. you can buy the leds with the resistor already in there.
you can make a load block that will take all of this into account and even without soldering into the harness nor cutting it.

I believe you can still find a flasher unit that will handle the LED turn signals without the load ballast. Pretty sure that the flasher units were used until Harley went to the CAN system.

Yes, I have not seen them with an incorporated resistor.

Why are you against resistors or equalizer?

I did find "Oxilam" resistor bulbs claiming to work properly in most applications

My concern is if the diameter past the metal base will allow their use in a bullet housing

I ran into that on marker lamps before , would not seat deep enough to engage the "nubs"

TNX for every ones input
