LED Lights Recommendations

Just bought a set of turn signals from Custom Dynamics. Easy to install. No wire cutting like others. Super bright!
There has been a lot of conversation on here about LED lights and installation. I hope to get some final YES or NO questions if those of you who have already done this can help me out. My bike is a 2014 Street Glide Special. I have a HD LED Daymaker Projector headlamp with additional harness en-route as we speak from Kutter and due here on Tuesday. I will install that when it arrives. I am interested in installing the Custom Dynamics LED front turn signals and possibly the rear turn signals as well. They are plug and play correct, no wiring required except simply plugging them into the existing sockets? If I install the forward LED turn signals only do I need the additional load equalizer? If I install front AND rear LED turn signals will I need a load equalizer? Thanks to all as usual!
Thanks Mark. Do the bullet rings have the ring of lights around the outside of the turn signal plus the normal center LED lights? Is it all just plug and play? Are the lights good for being seen only or do they actually put additional light out forward when driving at night? Sorry for so many questions!
GAFLHXS- This vid should answer most of your questions. Thy ARE plug and play and on 09 thru 2015's you do not need equalizers. They come with their own OEM looking lenses (A bit deeper) to compensate for the LED plates. I chose to have smoked front lenses and Red rear lenses, they are a good product and definitely add more light compared to stock.

Thanks MOJO, after reading what seems like a hundred different threads about the subject I thought I had all the information but I figured better safe than sorry. Ask one time about my bike and the products I wanted for one answer. I will call Custom Dynamics today and place my order. After reading so many threads about them, I have not seen ANYONE say they had a bad experience with them. Again, thanks.
Amazing, I spoke with Custom Dynamics this morning around 08:45 and placed my order for the LED turn signal inserts. I just received an Email from UPS saying they will be delivered Wednesday. I ordered a LED Daymaker headlight from Kutter on October 2nd. It is finally scheduled for delivery by USPS Tuesday. The USPS is delivering the headlight by "Two Day Priority" mail. Kutter finally shipped it on USPS on October 8th. If it does arrive tomorrow that means Kutter took six days to process and ship, USPS will take six days to deliver using their "Two Day Priority" mail system. Custom Dynamics = two days for the entire process - door to door. Score one for Custom Dynamics (and UPS).
While everyone here has great things to say about CD, I didn't go with them for my LED project. However, if I had the extra cash laying around, and now a new rear light set since I had to slightly modify mine, I would've gone with CD. I may upgrade in the future, but for now I'm quite happy with how mine came out.
I had the bulbs already laying around, was going to put them in my last bike but never got around to it. I like to do things the cheapskate way. lol

Hey GAFLHXS, Yes the bullet rings do have 7 LED lights around the ring and 24 LED lights inside the bullet. I have the Amber ring lights with the Amber turn lights on front and Red ring lights with Red turn/brake on the back. I think I would rather have the White ring with Amber turn on the front though.
Yes they were all just plug and play. Take out the bulb and plug in the LED. It's pretty slick. The lights are very bright, both the lights in the ring and the turns and/or brake. I do like these A LOT. I can't say that they add additional light to see with though. If you are looking for that type then look at their dynamic set on the front. They have 24 white and 24 Amber. I just didn't want that type of look. I really love the way these bullet ringz look in the black anodized ring on my vivid black bike. Click the link below, this should show you what I got.
