Changing turn signals without tripping the warning light??

A little info on which lights specifically might help get an answer.
I've installed signal led strips on my the sides of the triple trees and had to get a "doo dad" to convert the oem signal harness from 3 wire to a 2 wire configuration as that's the way the LEDs came( with 2 wires)Extremely cheap and they work fine without any issues.
If you have the lights try installing them.,then you'll know if they work or not and if not you'll have more questions but at least you will know what you are wanting to know.
Check out dime city cycles for inexpensive LEDs,mini bullets and the likes. Please don't do what a lot of guys I see do and pay hundreds for a so called kit,it's not worth it as you can do this on the cheap and easy... Kinda like I like my women lol.

Thanks!
I posted this question in order to avoid actually purchasing signals that will trip the sensor, thus rendering it a usless sensor, and having to return them.
I was hoping folks had gone thru this already and figured out what lights will work??
All Im after is some super small, black, bullet signals.. They have to be budget stuff, so no kit-your sure right about that!
Anyone put any on that are not stock???
Any warning light issues??

Custom Dynamics might be able to help you. They are a GREAT company to deal with.

Lights are pretty much lights with the except of LEDs which some say need resistors to work right. I have yet to require resistors.
The only "sensor" I could see being an issue is if you had a light out and end up with a indicator on the dash but more than likely just one faster flashing blinker due to not powering a burnt out bulb on the front or back whichever the case may be.
I think if you find a set of lights you like buy them, as long as you keep it simple and use the existing wiring there shouldn't be any issues. That's been my experience anyway. If you want added security ask the vendor you are buying them from, they may tell you that you need something extra but as far as bulbs that throw codes that just doesn't make any sense to me. They are just drawing power just like the ones you have now.

It's a 2013 Slim, same as mine.
I put Alloy Art LEDs on the front, Custom Dynamics on the back. I then went one step further and ditched the license plate bracket with the LEDs and later added a new bracket/light with standard bulbs. It took a few restarts, but the ECM and/or BCM sorted out the loads and I didn't have to add load equalizers, resistors, or any other stuff in the mix. They flash at the right speed, no trouble/warning lights.
I can't say with any authority that you'd be all clear with the ones you're looking at, but I'd be a little surprised if you had problems.
