Default LED upgrades

Hi...
I have a 2015 FLHTP Police Glide. I've swapped out the turn signals for the retro fit LEDs as well as the 4.5 passing lamps. I'm looking at adding the LED Fillerz. Do I really need a load equalizer? I've got the heavy duty electrical and all the lights are lower voltage LEDs. I'm certainly not an expert but I respect those who wrench. Thoughts?

According to the Custom Dynamics website 14 and up don't require equalizers. They use a canbus system. I just looked there but I have a 12 CVO with rear LED TS but the front requires an equalizer.

You should be OK, I have LEDs in both front & rear turn signals on my 14 SG.
The LEDs did flash at a higher rate then normal, like others on this forum I put
my flashers on for a minuet or two so the ECU can reset itself.

Install everything and see if they work. That's the way I discovered that my older bike needed an equaliser!
