Ok, thanks. I went ahead and ordered the Custom Dynamics LED Inserts for the rear. Hopefully they work without the load equalizer.

This is what I was talking about.

Yes, that Tri-Bar light upgrade is "Plug-N-Play"
No modifications of any kind needed. Just replace the current running light only Tri-Bar light with this new one, and you will have brake light functions on the new light.

I added that light to my Street Glide in about 20 minutes.

You will not need the load equalizer if only changing the rears.

Custom Dynamics make great t LED inserts. As mention before, If you install the the rear inserts, the LE will not be required. If you plan to have LED's in the front you will need the LE. I bought the LE from Custom Dynamics and it's super easy to install and works great!!!

Cool, thanks. I only ordered the rears. Maybe later I will install their bullet ringz up front and get their load equalizer. My bike has the Kuryakyn driving lights though and it looks like they replace the stock turn signals. Do you know if the CD bullet Ringz will mount to the Kuryakyn driving lights/signals?
