I have a 2013 FLHTK and I want to add LED turn signals both front and rear. I thought that I would need a load equalizer, so I called a vendor to inquire as to what model equalizer I would need. The vendor told me that my bike does not need an eq., just take it to the dealer and have them move a switch that is on the bike. Has anyone heard or experienced this?

 

That doesn't sound right to me. I have a 13 flhx and they all say it requires an equalizer if i replace both the front and rear signals. I just did the rear so I do not need one yet.

 

I suspect if you buy an H-D LED indicators kit they will come with the instructions! Hopefully someone who knows the details will be along soon.

 

Whatever you do don't use the resister type that comes with the Kuryakyn.
Badlands is the answer. It's plug and play.

 

Call Custom Dynamics and pose the same question to them....
They probably offer a package deal with both front and rear
led bulbs along with load equalizer.

 

Thanks, it didn't sound right to me either. This is my first Harley and I just wanted to make sure that things are done right. I will look into the Badlands Eq.;

 

+1 on this answer. I got mine from them. Front and rear LED inserts, smoked lenses and load equalizer. Super setup and much brighter.

 

Who was the vendor that told you this???

2010 Limited with some stuff

 

You will need a load equalizer if you install LEDs font and rear. I highly recommend the Badlands LE as well.

H-D LEDs have equalizer built in so you won't need one with them. If you change all four signal lights to LEDs, with aftermarket ones, you will require an equalizer or LEDs with resistors. Resistor type are not recommended as they heat up and can't be used for any length of time or with four way flashers; too hot. Solid state equalizer is the way to go Badlands or Custom Dynamics.

If you only change the front or just the rear you can get away with no equalizer. Some guys have had luck changing all four with no equalizer. Usually the signals blink too fast like when you have a burnt out bulb. Using no equalizer with 4 LEDs can also cause problems with your factory security system. TSSM monitors amperage on signals. LED's draw very little current fooling the module into thinking either a bulb is burnt out or security issue.
