Headlight bucket 2008 crossbones
Need to get noticed, last week a cage didn't see me and almost pulled out in front of me.. Is there room in the 5 3/4 bucket for a load resistor, prob not a good place to install it with a LED bulb. What works?

Most headlights have the proper electronics in their circuitry.... Pretty sure the Custom Dynamics headlights do. They will usually mention if you need to buy a load equalizer (they call it a "stabilizer") for installation, in the item description... You could call them to make sure ...
On pre-CanBus bikes, if just swapping out an incandescent bulb with an LED bulb in the turn signals, you WILL need the load equalizer..... otherwise, the bike senses the lower draw of the LED bulb, and will put the turn signals in hyper-flash (rapid cycling). The bike will think you have a bulb out, and that's the way it's designed to alert you to that condition... With a CanBus bike, there is a simple learn procedure to use in place of a load equalizer...

I had the Halo set up on my Streetglide and the front of the bike was hard to not notice, I don't know why I waited so long to add LED's, heck even my 83 shovel is lit up with LED's.
