Why do my turn signals flash rapidly after installing LED bulbs?

LED bulbs draw less power than standard incandescent bulbs. Your vehicle's factory flasher relay interprets this lower power draw as a burnt-out bulb, causing the turn signals to flash rapidly. This load equalizer adds the necessary resistance to correct the flash rate.

Will this load equalizer get hot?

Yes, this unit will produce heat during operation as it adds resistance to the circuit. However, it does come equipped with thermal protection to help manage its temperature.

Can I use this for my hazard lights (4-way flashers)?

This load equalizer is designed for turn signal use. It is not intended for extended usage in 4-way flasher mode, as this can cause excessive heat buildup.

Product Details

This Badlands Load Equalizer II, part number LE-02, is a hard-wired unit designed to fix rapid flashing turn signals. When you upgrade your vehicle's turn signal bulbs to LEDs, they draw less power, which can trick the factory flasher relay into thinking a bulb has burned out, causing the signals to blink much faster than normal. This load equalizer adds the necessary resistance to mimic a standard incandescent bulb, bringing your turn signal flash rate back to normal.

While this unit does generate heat during operation, it includes thermal protection to manage its temperature. It's important to note that this load equalizer is not meant for continuous use in a 4-way flasher mode, as that can cause excessive heat buildup. It's designed specifically to correct the flash rate for your turn signals.
