I have the CD LEDs installed on my StreetGlide. Easy install and no problems. Life time warranty.

Just don't get in a hurry and have a couple beers and you'll be ok.
Since I don't drink,I better have my dealer do it!

Don't quote me, but, I think starting with 2011 you do not need an equalizer with LED lights because of a different ECM than prior years. Do some research, but I believe that is what I read here on another thread. I just noticed that you replied to my previous query, and that you have an '06. So you do need the equalizer. I also have an '06. I went with the Kuryakyn Panacea setup five years ago. I'm still very happy with it.

This is not true on all models but it may be some day if all models go the CAN BUS route. From the CD website:

"2011-2012 Softail , & 2012 Dynas With Can Bus does not require a Load Equalizer, Turn Signals will flash at proper rate."

So I was partially right.

I spent $10 at Napa on a electronic flasher for LED turn signals. It's plug and play with no equalizer required .

I think I'll call CD and have a chat with the guys there and make sure their set up will work on my bike without problems since I have deleted the running light mode in the blinkers and also make sure there won't be any heat issues with the load equalizers.Thank you all for the useful info and let me get back to my Christmas wish list!
