Default Help with LED lighting

My 2005 Ultra has a kuryakyn panacea led taillight with the proper load equalizer. I found out that I will need another load equalizer for the front LED turns I just installed (they flash irradically), because the Kury is only good for the rear. Custom dynamics (front turn brand) sold me a equalizer that will take care of all 4 turns. Has anyone else had this combo? How would I install a second equalizer? Will I loose my flashing brake light?

I don't see why you would need a second LE but rather a good one. Custom Dynamics seems to be the way to go. I just installed (last week) dynamic ringz in the front (color changing white ring driving/ amber turn. And rear led inserts in the back blinkers. I also installed an led tail from CD because the OE one was busted in an accident. I installed their HD specific load equalizer as well as their triple play so I can run the blinkers as run/brake and turn lights.very simple install, worked as it should in the first try.

I got an awesome deal from a CD direct vendor. PM me if you want his info.

I know the kuryakyn says you need another equalizer for the front if you add them. I just don't want to loose the functions of the panacea brake light I have.

I already ordered a Custom Dynamic equalizer that does all 4 corners, but don't know how I am gonna make it work with the kuryakyn parts.

Custom dynamics sells a system stabilizer also (as opposed to a load equalizer). Goes in the main lighting harness an does the whole bike. Have one on my ultra and it works great. It also does not develope heat.

GEN2-SSHD is the part number custom dynamics recommended I get. Just curious how to hook it in.

As said above, CD is an "in line" device. Think of otbas a whole house water filter. Once added to the plumbing, it takes care of the whole house. It goes under the seat, plugs to the harness that goes to the tail and it comes with OE type plugs, no cutting or splicing

i understand that......The problem is the kuryakyn unit is plugged in there. I don't think I can remove it because then my panacea tail light won't function properly (I'm just guessing on this)

Then you're going to "stack" them up. Since we are going on assumptions I assume it would work just fine.
Both my LE and the triple play are stacked before the tail harness, although they are designed to work together. But the LE does not send a specific signal to your taillights or the panacea lights.
