Correct, I have them on the rear only and don't need the equalizer. However, that's not OP's problem.

Sounds like you might have the wrong version of the LED's. the SG needs the 1157's I believe.

Contact Custom Dynamics. I find they are very responsive. Worth a shot.

They are the 1157s. All I can think is light in the center is messing it up. Not sure about the need for a equalizer, I placed them in my buddies street glide and they didn't work either. Damn shame, I like them. I contacted CD and they responded quickly. I did what they recommended and it did nothing. Thanks for the help

You really don't NEED the load equalizer. I'm running all four r/s/t lights and I never installed my load wire and my lights flash just fine. My dash light flashes fast but the lights themselves don't.
