Default LED tail lights-no load balancer?

Though there have been many posts about LED tail lights, I cannot find the info I am looking for. Help, anyone? Thanks.

1. Is there a way to have an LED tail light array inserted into the stock HD red lens without having to purchase an entire aftermarket unit?

2. Is the above available "plug and play" and also without the load equalizer requirement?

3. Can any of the above be accomplished if the rear signal lights are already hooked up as running lights?

Thanks again.

Radiantz makes a plug and play LED board that goes into your stock lens and you don't need an equalizer for it.

Kuryakyn makes everything you want for a LED tail light and LED rear turn light combo.
If you have deep pockets Bright *** Tail lights also has the brightest tail light on the market.
If your center brake light and your turn signals already work togeather as brake lights, that means there is a controller already on your bike under the seat that joins them togeather.
To answer your question on a load equalizer it is only needed to run LED turn signals not LED tail lights. If you get the kuryakyn system the equalizers just plug in to the module under the seat, no cutting of wires or splicing, its plug and play.

If you look at the 2 kuryakyn pieces above you will see the controller (the large red one) and you will see the equalizer (the small black one). You plug the equalizer into one of the 2 small white plugs you see on the red controller. The red controller has 2 small plugs for running 2 equalizers if you wish, this keeps the turn signals flashing at a slow flash instead of a super fast flash (which is what happens when you install LED turn signals without equalizers). This is why i like the kurakyn systems it is plug and play.

The red controller you see above just plugs in under your seat to your stock wiring on your bike, NO CUTTING, just plug and play.

By the way here is my bike with Kuryakyn LEDS on the Rear and on the front.
This is the simplest system but it cost a little but it looks great.
I paid $200.00 with controller and equalizers for the rear LED's, and $120.00 for the front LED's by themselves on Ebay.
