Default Front LED indicators

What is involved wiring wise to install front LED indicators to replace HD bulbs.

Is a equaliser required?

Thanks for info

Robert

I had to drill a hole in My bars and ran the wires internally and the base of my turn signals covered the holes..

Yes you need an equalizer. I like regular bulbs, they go out replace them at any auto parts store. Led lights during the day are not very bright, at night extremely bright.

Just plug and play. The ECM on the Rocker will automatically compensate for the different power draw. Check out my post #28 at this link: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...l-bulbs-3.html

There is a sequence you have to do though. Once you have the LEDs plugged into the stock housing, you have to cycle the left and right turn lights a couple of times, activate the hazards, and turn it off. That sequence worked for me.
