Angry LED Turn Signals

I have a 2012 Ultra Limited with the LED headlight-spots-turn signals front and rear. My rear turn signals "continue" to burn out every two-three weeks, alternating sides-left to right. The dealer replaces them but this is very time consuming. Any ideas as to what could be causing this to happen?

The LED's are burning out??? Never heard of that before. Since the dealer is replacing them, I assume their HD items and no load equalizer is needed, right? Hopefully someone else will chime in with some useful info for you.

I know this may sound dumb but Harley did make a version that needed the load equalizer and then they made one that did not. If your lights are blowing out it sounds like too much power is getting to them. I would check the model number and verify again.
