For those of you with the LED side markers/turns on the fender, do you need a Load Equalizer for those to prevent them from blinking fast? (which is the case for front and rear turns).

Looking at the ones you can order, they look like plug and play.

Thanks

The group buy that was done on the side markers was from speedline i'm not sure if parta plaza has the same type.. chances are that both are identically the same.

Could it be a possibilty that the those specific units are defective, rather then an install issue? I only ask as I know the side markers are sealed units, so I'm thinking the unit has not been sealed properly. Just a thought....

I'm thinking of putting silicone to seal the edges..
weekend project lol :chuckle

EDIT:oh yeah, is it fine to seal it WITH condensation inside?? if not, what's the best way to get rid of it before sealing?

I would think you have to just let them dry out with the sun? Maybe best to put the stock ones in for a few days to take the LED ones in to your house to dry out.

Take the sidemarker off, place it in a dry location inside your house.. let it sit for id say atleast a few days so all the condensation can dry up, then seal it with silicone..

Hopefully that will work. If the condensation is alot and leaves a puddle of water inside the housing.. well then grab a dremel and drill out a small hole and hope the water can drain out lol then seal
