Default LED blinker option?

So I'm finally tired of replacing my front blinker bulbs so I'm wondering if LED might be the fix. If so what bran do I go with. I've heard that th HD ones have a support loop on the filiment...is this true?

Custom Dynamics Genesis 48 bulb clusters are extremely bright, intense, life time warranty and money back guarantee. They fit right into the billet turn signal housings. Have had them on my rears for awhile now, no regrets, would buy them again.

How often are you changing bulbs? May be theirs another problem.

I replace them about every 4 thousand miles. Its due to vibration thats my guess. I use a lot of dioelectric grease and it helps. Would I have to install any kind of modual or resistor or just replace them and thats it.

I installed a r/t/b module with the led's that came with a load equalizer. Call Custom Dynamics, they are very helpful.

This is the way I'm going too. I thought about going with the smaller and less noticeable signals but we have lots of old people here and anything I can do to help them see me is a plus.

I went with the Badlands R/T/B with built in load equalizer though. It can handle every variation of lighting possible and it's plug and play.

Mounted mine on the side of the battery with double sided tape. I do not have the Badlands unit - so the size and shape of the unit you get could be mounted in another location. When you get one, let us know if you need ideas where to mount it. You may not even need a load equalizer...
