Default Indicator Help

Was looking to purchase these on Amazon -
Amazon.com: 4x 39mm Motorcycle LED Turn Signal Indicator Light For Harley Bullet Smoke Clear: Automotive Amazon.com: 4x 39mm Motorcycle LED Turn Signal Indicator Light For Harley Bullet Smoke Clear: Automotive

My question is, do you think these are plug and play or do I need to splice wires/install a relay of some sort? Seems like a good set for the money.

Thanks,
Vinny

They make no mention of including any sort of ballast. LEDs have much lower current draw than normal bulbs, so your stock flasher unit may not work (mine doesn't with the LED flashers I have). That requires either the addition of a ballast unit, to fool your stock flasher unit into working, or replacing your stock flasher unit with an LED friendly one. I use a Badlands, which will add greatly to the total cost.
