Ok, I know there is a thread already about installing and like most things there is more than one way.

However I never saw anyone post what I was experiencing...often when people ask the question do I need to install a load balancer for say doing the rear integrated, most respond by saying no your blinkers will just go fast...well this is factual information...but be warned, if you go and try and do a dual element install say with a drugz circuit you will run into big problems and the front circuit will not work in this case.

From what I've seen you have to run a load balancer in order to run the drugz circuits...funny thing is was when I saw the problem I called radiance and they just thought they were bad, they didn't realize you had to have the rear circuit loaded for the fronts to work right. So just something to be aware of, if you find yourself wondering about such things.

This was my experience..your mileage may vary.

Are you using the negative or positive drugz. I had this problem once i introduced rear led kit and the load equalizer did not help. Changing to the positive drugz circuit in the front fixed it. My post all about it is in Urban's led thread.

Very odd so that's why I posted separate. I am using the positive drugz...I have no idea why we would be seeing something different...nothing anyone has made sense of...check this out...without the resistors installed the front led would come on with the running lights as they should..then if you tried the right turn it would just go out and not come back on...but the left side just would go out but would return to running. Both sides wired the exact same...two sets did the same thing.

Oh...forgot to mention I'm using the leds up front as a running/turn signal setup...with just the turns connected it worked fine.

I hear a lot of people playing around with equalizer and load balancer to fix the blinking speed problems with leds.

Why you guys just did not install an 8$ electronic flasher relay like Natedog did. Its a 20 minutes job, cost almost nothing and works perfectly.

I do not want to play the smart a$$ here ... but just wonder if I am missing something. Because I have the part in hand and will do the job tonight.

Just might be that some still want the self canceling turns.
Yeah that's true. I forgot to mention that this solution has that issue. But I personnally NEVER use that feature anyway.

I say I never use it..but I know there are times for whatever reason that I may have forgot to cancel...so for me I like em and wouldn't want it any other way...**** something simple as leaving a blinker on could get ya killed.....yes some people actually believe a signal means go ahead and pull out.
