Default Panacea LED insertsand HD LED brake light a no go?

Hello folks,
I have a quick question for you all. I first off instaled a HD smoke LED brake light and really liked its added safety features and looks. After some research I found that Kuryakn made LED inserts with smoked lenses for just over 100.00 each (front / rear). After installing them, with the Kuryakn run/brake/turn module I noticed that my turn signals would flash at an amazingly fast rate. I mean they would flash super fast with just the ignition on, both right and left rears. This occured even with the load equalizer installed that was supplied in the Kuryakn kit. After doing some asking around, I was told that the Kuryakn LED inserts can not be used with the HD tail/brake light. Is this 100% true? Just curious. After spending about 300.00 total for the LED turns/module I really want to get this to work. I just ordered a Panacea smoke tail lense from J&P Cycles, hoping that it fixes the problem. I'm getting the regular one and not the one with the arrow that flashes within the tail lamp. Just putting this out there in case others might have had the same problem. Any and all replies are greatly appriciated. Once I recieve my new tail light, I will install it and report back. Please post if you have heard of this or experianced it first hand.

I think the problem lies in the fact that you have both the LED load equalizer in conjunction with the stop/brake/turn module. There was a post about this same issue not too long ago. That is why I just added red bulbs to my smoked turn signals and used the kuryaken smoked low profile LED tail light.

Well heres an update. I paid 150.00 for a Kuryakyn LED tail light (JP Cycles)and the Kuryakyn LED inserts for the turns still flicker off and on. I can not figure this out to save my life. I removed the LED inserts and added red bulbs (1156) in there and they work just fine. The burn constant, blink thewhole nine yards. However,I swapped the LED's back in and guess what....the flickering returned! Any ideas?
