LED turn signal bulbs

c_law23 · 01-28-2008

Any 900 owners replaced their turn signals with these "plug and play" led bulbs?

Was a load equilizer necessary? I'm hoping to find a set that i can just plug in and go, no wiring required.

from what ive read, anything LED for turnsignals needs a load equalizer.....

If you want the flash speed to remain stock, you will need some sort of load equalizer. Not hard to put in and you will need 2 if you replace front and rear turns with LED. I have the Radiantz clusters from the same company, and they are very bright. Pics in my signature.

Hey Chris, I have LEDs on my Shadow and yes I had (still have to actually) use the load equalizer. With out it (currently) the blink so darn fast I am not sure how effective they really are as a turn signal.

Call Custom Dynamics and ask for Todd. He rides a Kawasaki and can probably
tell you what you need.......which may not be a load eq, but, if not, will probably need to change flasher. He'll have the answer.......

If you do just the brake, nothing else is needed. If you do the turns, get a load equalizer for front and rear if you do both. If u have self cancelling signals, they will shut your turn signals off pretty quick after making a turn,if you dont add the equalizer. It just makes them work just like stock. If u dont, the signals will blink pretty fast, but wont hurt anything.

I picked up the Kuryakyn eq from a local shop here in Jacksonville for about $14... easy install..

After installing my Kuryakyn light modulator, I had to install the load EQ even though I didn't go w/ LED's.
