Default does 14 sg need load equalizer/resistor for front/rear led turns?

Just installed my custom dynamics led signals in the fronts and love them. Have read the 14's don't need a load equalizer or resistor for led's, so I shouldn't have any problems purchasing led's for the rears as well and still have a normal flash rate?

Correct, after installing them turn on your Hazard or 4 way flashers for a few min.
Then they will flash normal

I just installed my CD led clusters and they worked correctly as soon as installed. I did notice the indicator on the dash flashing twice as fast as the blinkers so I turned on the hazards and within a minute everything was flashing together correctly. Very simple and quick install and they work fantastic!

that's correct. If blinking fast , I think after install turn on flashers for a min and they will slow to normal. I gotta get an equalizer for just the front cd's on my 09
