Dont know if you already have LED, if so u wont need the equilizer. Now, most newer bikes come with rear led lights however the front are still the regular bulb.. I installed LEDs upfront with out the equalizer and have had no problems and no rapid blink, dont know. But im sure someone in here will chime in and give u better info than me.. good luck
