Default LED Turn signal bulbs
I want to change my turn signal bulbs to LED's but I don't know if resisters are needed. Did anyone change to LED bulbs and did you need resisters?

You will need a signal equalizer.

I have custom dynamics on my bike and will not ever contemplate going any other brand. Their warranty is first class, their customer service is the best, prices are very competitive and their durability is great. Also did I say that they are the brightest LEDs in the market?

Yes I am happy with custom dynamics.

I once made the mistake to get the brand radiantz on my bike and I almost lost the bike on a fire caused by their load equalizer.

The equalizer from custom dynamics is heat proof and after a year of having it on my bike I am a happy customer.

You will need a load equalizer. Some LED kits come with them. With out it your blinkers will start to flash faster, like they do when a bulb is burned out.

My Kuryakyn Panacea kit came with the load equalizer. I had to add a second one because if the Tour Pak LED lights.

Please post a picture when you have it up and running. I'd like to see how it looks.
