need turn signal help

[sjeccles]

My 77xlh didn't have the turn signals on it when I bought it. But since I will be riding at night I wanted to replace them. But now when you push the button they stay on all the time the button is pushed. I talked to a guy at J&P and he said I needed a heavy-duty flasher because I installed led lights but that didn't fix it. Anybody have any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks

Check out this site for some info on LED stuff.
You may need a load equalizer.... But not sure.

Heavy duty flasher is going the wrong way. Heavy duty is for a higher load application. With LED's, you're using less amps. You will have to have a load equalizer (2 actually) to increase the load.
