I assume you're using the Badlands Illuminator module with your LED turn signals (all 4 corners) and that you also have an LED Tailight (I used the BAL-3S).

If you have the same combination as I do with the fairing LED bar, the LE in the Illuminator module (ILL-01-A) just isn't enough to compensate for all these LEDs. But the fix is very simple to get your fairing LED light bar flashers to work properly. Essentially, Badlands took a regular LE and swapped the plugs out to fit my SE Ultra. It was then plugged in-line BEFORE the Illuminator. That was all I needed to do and the front signals and fairing LED bar worked perfectly. No issues at all with turn signals, light bar, tailight or HD security system. 4-way flashers also function properly for as long as I want to run them (no heat issue).

I believe Badlands has new modules they have released based on some of the experimenting they did with me. http://www.badlandsmotorcycleproduct...cts/BETCSM.htm

My recommendation is to call Dan at the Badlands #. Explain your exact lighting configuration and the issue you're having and they will be able to recommended the right module setup for you. (your combination might be different then mine since your bike is a 2005 and mine is a 2010.)

I believe it is an Illuminator (been a while since I installed it) Custom Dynamics turns front and rear, Custom Dynamics brake light, HD led windshield bar and HD LEd headlight.

I will try to call Dan this week. Not sure if they will send me a fix or if I will have to pay extra since it has been a while.
