Default Plasma rods question?

Need alittle help here. I got my plasma rods coming in a couple of days my question is do I need anything else to install the rods I see a lot of peeps buying the load equalizer and triple play do I really need them? Or how are you guys hooking up the rods? Thanks for any info.

Yes,you need a load equalizer.You also need the dual converters to hook up running,brake,and turn abilities if you want all three to work.Dennis Kirk sells them for $5 each,you need one for each side.I removed the factory rear lights on my '12 streetglide and run only the plasma rods.It is very clean looking.I used the Yaffe license plate holder.I soldered and heat shrinked all the connections.Been running it for 6 mons.now with no issues.Hope this helps.Mitch

If all you are doing is adding plasma rods to your existing lights, you do NOT need the equalizer. The rest depends on how you are setting them up and which rods you are getting.

Here's most everything you need to know.... if you can't find your answer there, give them a call

Truth.
However, I ran mine as a complete replacement setup and needed some additional things. I got a run turn brake module which had integrated load equalizers. I also added a flashing strobe for when the brakes are first applied.
