How to wire load equalizers?

I ordered some led switchback bulbs for the front parking lights/turn signals along with two load equalizers.  It sounds like I need to attach one of the wires to the negative wire from the turn signal and the other wire to the positive 12volt feed of the signal flash power input wire.  The questions I have are:

Do I need to wire the equalizer close to the new switchback led bulb or can I wire it anywhere into that circuit?

If I wire it farther back in the harness can I attach one wire to the positive wire for the turn signal (for example, close to the firewall) and then attach the other wire from the equalizer to ANY chassis ground or does the equalizer need to be wired specifically to the positive and negative for the turn signal bulb?

Here's a diagram i made to show how it's done.  I have mine wired pretty close to the bulb socket itself.  And each socket that requires equalizing has one attached (A total of 6 in my case)

As stated 3M Scotchlok and similar crimp connectors have a tendancy to corrode and cause problems such as complete outages or hyperflashing of your signals.
Use a dielectric non conductive grease all over the inside of your connectors to prevent water and salt from wicking up into the factory wiring.
Finish the area with a hotmelt adhesive (hot glue gun) or seal it off with more electrical sealant grease.  Tape off or heat shrink around the area if possible for better protection against the elements.
I've been going on 3 years now with this setup and haven't experienced a single problem since I started sealing up my connections.  Also be aware that your pre-wired load resistors might not be soldered at the terminals.  Slice off the heat shrinked area to expose it.  If it's just tied into the end you'll want to solder it otherwise you could have problems a few months down the road.  Don't forget to apply heat shrink after you solder.



Hope this helps.  Any questions just post them here or PM me!

Thanks for the diagram, it helps to be able to visualize it.  I really don't like those crimp on splice connectors either but I will follow your lead and seal them up the best I can.  I tested the led bulbs without the equalizers and I get hyperflashing along with flickering so I had better get around to adding the eq's.

def needed this one.. THank you!

These splice type connectors are only intended for temporary use. They are NOT intended for permanent mount and will oxidize over time. You really need to use a different method that is intended for permanent use. Such as cutting the original wire and splicing in the new wire using a butt connector or soldering and sealing the connection.

I have actually used a stripper and carefully just cut the wire covering and then peal it back. I then solder the add on wire to this and tape it using some 88+ grade tape. This tape is similar to OEM and will hold up. You could also coat the solder joint with liquid tape or some other sealing agent to prevent oxidation but I haven't had issues with this. The Splice connectors will eventually work free or just simply oxidize the connection.
