LED'S

[sprinkman]

If you are going to install all LED lighting on your trike do you still have to install a load equalizer?

I have LEDs in the tour pack and tail lights and was told that I didnt need equalizers. The tour pack are just LED lite bulbs right now. They are still pretty bright. The tail lights have 120 LEDs in them.

If you have led front and rear turn signals, yes.

Looking into this myself.

@Rod69 what company are yours with the 120 LEDs?

Some LED light arrays have enough diodes to create a load close enough to the standard bulb, so a load equalizer isn't needed. In other cases the manufacture creates a load in the assembly that matches the needed load, so no equalizer is needed here either. In some installs, you put enough bulbs in the circuit to load the circuit without having to put in an equalizer.
Usually cheap bulbs are just the LED's that let you do your own circuit loading. That way they can keep the bulb costs down. But you will make up part of it with the cost of the circuit loading you have to do......
Sometimes you have to experiment with what you buy to find out about your system. That is unless they advertise that the bulbs are load correct.:Trike1:

On mine I had to use a equalizer for the rear tail light/blinkers..or they go into super hyper flash mode..but not all bikes are the same..some need one some dont..Harley LED tail lights come with the equalizer..If you do install one put it before the rear convertor not after..

So if I have to install one just do it at harness in the back?

My '12 TriGlide is completely converted to LEDs, front and rear (including the brake lights on the tourpak), and am using the HD tail light kit that replaced the stock fender lamps. The kit came with a new load controller to replace the stock module located under the rear seat. I have no hyperflash issues.

www.superbrightleds.com is a good source for LED's and LED information. I use them often. Copy and paste the link if it doesn't work.........

Mine are from Ride Time Technology.

Thank's eighty80.
