Default Custom dynamic LED ringz

Just installed these on my rocker. They are super bright.

I did not install the load equalizer and I'm not getting any hyper flash. I thought even rocker guys we're running load equalizers for these installs.

The only thing I noticed is that the turn signals now seem to self cancel a lot sooner than they did before. Does this have anything to do with me not running the load equalizer ?

Here is a shitty pic in my garage.

Looks good - like how you have your bike mounted on a wall...

JK, as far as load equalizer IRT flash/signal cancel...guessing it does affect the signal(s) on your Softail as the voltage differs a bit. If you're OK w/it...not gonna hurt anything. Did you do the initial flash set-up w/the new LED signals (guessing yes)?

Iceman wish I could hang that sucker on the wall would allow me enough room to get another one lol.

Anyhow, no I didn't do any flash set up. I was under the impression that only the bikes with the new canbus system needed that. I just plugged them in and away I went.

What's involved with that initial set up? Just running the hazards for an extended oeriod of time ?

Got the fatbob bucket with the Daymakers installed. I don't have a high beam capability with these auxiliary Daymakers but trust me you don't need a high beam. These are super bright.

I wired the headlights to the low beam wire so now when I hit the high beam they just shut off. Gonna use this feature when I start the bike to keep the Daymakers off while the bike is turning over. Plus ut looks pretty bad *** during the day with only the dynamic rings on.

This picture is pretty much useless but I always like to see a night picture when talking about lighting. So here goes mine.

IIRC, the front signals do not require an equalizer installed. Only if you add LED to rear on Delphi system.

Can Bus, no equalizer required.
