Default Led problem

So I picked up a few sets of aftermarket led bulbs that plug right in. I thought it was a great idea. Led look without having to replace the whole taillight. So I put the led bulbs in and they work fine but the blinker indicator is blinking really fast indicating I have a blown bulb. I'm sure it has something to do with the voltage level being a lot different than the oem turn signal bulbs. Anyone know how to fix it? I really like the look of the led turn signals and would like to keep it but the fast blinker indicator is driving me crazy. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone!!

I see you didn't do a search.
anyway to answer your question, you need load equalizers, 1 for each led turn signal.

Actually I did do a search just under the electrical and lighting section with no luck so I posted this. I found the search feature on the main page and found a thread on it. Thanks

Ya, takes a while to figure where to look. But the search is your friend.

Sfcg77; can you go back to the LED bulb supplier & ask if they have the solution (load equal) for their product. I know it probably shouldn't matter, but sometimes getting parts from same manufacturer/vendor works best - good luck!

Get a signal conditioner. All of what I have heard, load equalizes get really hot, and for instance, if you put on your Em. Flashers, and walked away from the bike for a couple hours, you may not have one when you return. I was told, they get that HOT! Take to a led supplier with more knowledge than me, and hopefully they can put you on a safe track to solve your problem....
