Default Load equalizers and LED turn signals

I installed a Badlands Illuminator run/turn/brake/equalizer module when I eliminated my tail light, and put in a set of LED turn signals in back. I kept the front incandescents, but I want to upgrade to LEDs in front too. Do I need a separate load equalizer for the front, or does the Illuminator take care or the front too? Badlands website didn't clear it up for me.

I'm running the Illuminator with Radiantz LEDs front and rear without problems. I also swapped out the stock rear tail light with a Kury smoke LED low profile. Love the setup, plug-n-play and loads more visibility!

Well, this didn't work as I planned. I got my front LED turn signals installed, and they blink at the normal rate for the first few times, but then they speed up to about twice normal speed. Sounds like the load balance isn't quite enough for both sets, doesn't it?

RicMF, try pulling your maxi-fuse for 10 minutes. I had this issue, and Badlands told me to pull the maxi-fuse, wait 10 minutes, then run the fours ways for 10 seconds, then the turn signals. Something about when I changed the lights the second time, the system had to re-learn the load requirements. I don't really get it, but it fixed me up! Call Badlands, ask for Dan, he'll explainthe whole deal. or send an email, address on the website.
