Default LED Lighting Issue

I recently purchased a Badlands 3 Load Equalizer and Custom Dynamics front/rear LED lights for my 2012 Street Glide, but am having an issue. Whenever I downshift and apply the brakes with the left turn signal on, it goes into hyper flash. The hyper flash only occurs in this scenario. If I do the same thing with the right turn signal on, it works fine. If I am cruising down the highway at 80mph I can let the left turn signal run indefinitely with no hyper flash. It ONLY happens with the left turn signal on when the brakes are applied and downshifting.

I've tried just about everything at this point to troubleshoot the issue, including phone calls to Custom Dynamics and Badlands. They each say it is not their product. I've done a TSSM reset, checked the diagnostic codes (there are none), the four way flasher technique, etc. If I swap the left rear LED to right side, it still only does it on the left. If I swap all of my lights back to the incandescent bulbs everything works fine.

Does anyone have further suggestions? I am out of ideas.

Thanks,
Ian

Have you tried removing the load equalizer? I know when I installed just the front CD LED turn signals, I didn't need a load equalizer. It sounds to me that the two products aren't compatible with each other for some reason. I don't know.

Yeah similar to you, if I have just the front or rear LED's on it is fine. Once I have all four signals with LED's the load equalizer is necessary or else all signals hyper flash. I feel like this has got to be a defective equalizer, but Badlands says there is no way.

Maybe buy the CD load equalizer & return the Badlands?
