    the front and rear signals on the pass side work together and drivers side work together, as long as you have the equivalent load with a strong load equaliz=er, the flasher will discharge at the same time doesnt really matter where the load is (ie one large load equalizer vs 2 smaller)

    if you want to calculate exactly what you need to make it exactly the same check this page out.. http://science.howstuffworks.com/question501.htm

    pretty cool...here is some quick number crunching to give you an idea of what you need/what happens w/ the equalizers i dont have the real numbers on the bulbs, but this should all be pretty close.. each "circuit" is a side of the car (ie passenger/driver)

    STOCK
    2 bulbs @ 27 watts each on each circuit (drivers side or passenger side)
    battery puts out 14volts
    2x27watts= 54watts total
    54 watts/14 volts = 3.9 amps
    ------
    with (1) 3 ohm equalizer per circuit and LED bulbs
    2 led bulbs @ 2 watts each
    1 load equalizer @ 3 ohms

    (2) bulbs x 2 watts = 4 watts
    4watts/14 volts = 0.29 amps (way too low by itself.. thats why your turn signal would flash like crazy.. so you add...)
    14 volts / 3 ohms = 4.6 amps

    =4.89 amps total ... a little higher than you need, but it will get the job done and its much better than .29 amps

    -----
    with (2) 15 ohm load equalizers

    4 watts / 14 volts = 0.29 amps

    14 volts/15 ohms = .9 amps (you would need two of these on each side (one on each bulb) so multiply by 2)
    =1.8 amps
    + amps from LED bulbs =2.19 amps a little low... but again much better than the 0.29 from the bulbs alone

    so yea.. i might be way off... it is 230 am and i had class from 8am -10 pm today...

    .. phew i need to be out of college already, see i learned how to apply what i learned in the real world!
