Well, generally speaking if you change just the rear lights to LED a module is not necessary. As pointed out, some bikes require them and others don't. It won't cause damage to try it without.

When I "just" replaced the 1157's on the rear of my SG, all was fine. Once I installed the front ambers, needed the load equalizer. Some of the best and brightest money I have spent.

My brother has CD Turn signals on back of his 2011 Street glide No issues without a module. I also had them on my 2012 Road Glide custom with no module and all worked fine.

I replaced the bulb in my rear brake light with LED and want to go with LEDs in the turn signals. Would I need the equalizer? A lot of folks run LED in just the rear turns without a load equalizer but IDK if adding the brake light would affect that.

Mine blinked fast upon install and did above no problem. Custom Dynamics said if I install lights on the front signals too, then I would need a module.
this information is correct if you have a rushmore with the can bus system. you have a 2010, which does not have the can bus. are you running leds in the front?if you are, then you will need a signal stabilizer/load equalizer. you can run one set of legs either front or back, with no problems, but you will need the ss if you run both.

a signal stabilizer is not needed for the brake lights.

To work properly yes you need the load stabilizer. Can call custom dynamics if you want.
