The load equalizer will keep the blinker rate the same. LCD draws less wattage

I put the little spoilers with the LED lights on my saddlebag lids and wired them as running lights and turn signals, and have had no problems. They flash at the same rate as the regular turn signals.

That's because you didn't replace your main turn signals.&nbsp\\; You only added LED to your existing system.

Check out the equalizers at:
