Do you need the LED Load Equalizers for the turn signal LED's or do they work fine without it?
i can answer that xenomorph.

yes, u do need the load equalizers if u don't want your turn signals to flash rapidly (as if a bulb is out). as it says here , you'll need 4 total if u get the 6 ohm version and 2 total if u get the 3 ohm version. (i had 2 3 ohm resistors: one on the left rear and one on the right rear.) chris (owner of autolumination) used to offer cheaper, ceramic load resistors but i don't see them on his site anymore.

a word of caution to anyone considering LEDs for their turns (tamas alluded to this earlier in the thread):

the LEDs are focused and DO NOT reflect off the housing. i don't know about the amber but i had hyper white LEDs in my front and rear turns for a while and they were nearly invisible in the daylight. (they looked AMAZING at night!) i decided to go with hyperwhite stealths in the turns instead because of it for safety reasons.

just an FYI.

p.s. - i also had red LEDs in my brake lights but replaced with red incandescents (again, because the LEDs didn't reflect off the housing thus they looked awkward and weren't as bright/safe.)
