Panacea LED Lights on a RK

I just installed the full Panacea LED light system on my 2006 RK with the factory alarm system.

Both the front and rear LED turn signal lights came with load equalizers and I bought the TSSM #4857 equalizer also. As far as I can see there is only room to plug in 2 of the equalizers so I used the TSSM one and one of the included ones.

Got it all installed (20 minutes) and everything seems to work as it should except (there is always an except) when I press either turn signal button the red security key will light up in the speedometer for about 3-6 seconds and then it goes out. Everything else works as it should.

I did a search on the board but didn't see anything quite like this.

Any ideas or is that just the way it works?

Thanks for any input.

I have the full system as well and UNFORTUNATELY you have to have all 3 equalizers wired in to eliminate that problem. And as you said they only provided two plug in points.....I thought that really was poor engineering considering the cost, so now you have to splice in the last equalizer[:@]

Thanks fimduc

I guess I just splice it in parallel with other one, correct.

Thanks

RE: Panacea LED Lights on a RK

Well I have mix feelings about the Panacea LED light system from Kuryakyn. The quality of the lights themselves is good. The install is easy but the quality of the plugs and module is not very good. For the price of the system I think it should have been better.

I had to splice in a 3rd equalizer because there are only connections on the module for 2 and it seems you need 3 if you have both front and rear LED lights. Also there is a jumper connected to the module that selects what type of light system you have. This jumper is not a very good fit and sticks out, in the way. I had it fall off twice during the install until I taped it to the wiring. Also the wiring harness could have been a bit longer so the module under the seat could be better placed out of the way.

I like the looks of the lights and how they function but for the money it could have been better. If I had to do it again I would probably go with the $50.00 system from Harley.

I too have the full Panacea LED's front & rear

I don't have any of the problems you note with the security light. I used the TSSM #4857 only. Iam wondering if using 2 equalizers is your problem. I also didn't find any fault in the connectors. Mine looked and snapped together like the factory ones.
I agree the wiring could have been longer, but I had no problems zip tying everything up under my seat
