The bulbs are all keyed, you can't put them in 180 out.

I thought that the light would still and the load equalizer the helped the flash rate.

I put LEDs in my 08 and needed no equalizers, The bulbs I bought from Autozone didn't fit in the sockets far enough to be able to twist the bulb to lock it in. I had to modify the slots in the sockets to make them lock in like they should. Somewhere there are LED bulbs that are on a flat circuit board with a socket dangeling from a wire, the LED part fits just behind the lense. Those were designed for the light sockets on out bikes.

Without the load equilizer they should still have lit up. The load equalizer pulls the extra current to cause the blinker doohickie to work. : )
I used the badlands load equilizer, wasn't much and came with great instructions. Just make sure you get the right equilizer for the right job. Just call them up, they will tell you which one to get based on what you have and what you're trying to do. They're out of Nevada.
