SYLVANIA Turn Signal Load Equalizer for LED Bulbs — Pack of 2, 27W at 12.8V, Prevents Hyper-Flash & Bulb Warnings

SYLVANIA Load Equalizer 27 Watt (at 12.8V) is an inline resistor module that restores correct turn-signal flashing and bulb-detection when upgrading to LED replacement bulbs.

When you swap incandescent turn or signal lamps for low-draw LED bulbs, many vehicles detect the reduced current as a burned-out bulb and either hyper-flash or trigger a bulb-out warning. The SYLVANIA Load Equalizer adds the equivalent electrical load back into the circuit, preventing rapid flashing and false error messages while dissipating heat safely through its integrated heat sink. Each pack contains two equalizers rated at 27 watts (measured at 12.8 volts), designed for straightforward installation on most passenger vehicles when used alongside LED replacement bulbs.

How does this equalizer stop hyper-flashing?

The equalizer mimics the electrical draw of a standard bulb so your vehicle's flasher unit or body control module sees an expected load. That keeps the blinking frequency and dash warnings normal without changing vehicle wiring or software. It uses a robust resistor core combined with a metal backing to transfer heat away during operation.

• Adds 27W of load at 12.8V to match incandescent draw
• Clips connect to existing socket wires — no soldering required
• Heat sink and mounting pad reduce surface temperature under load

How do I install the SYLVANIA Load Equalizer?

Installation is designed to be simple for DIYers and professional installers alike: mount the equalizer to a flat metal surface for thermal grounding, then attach the supplied clips to the vehicle’s socket wires. No special tools or programming are required, but locate a place with solid metal contact to allow proper heat dissipation and secure wiring away from moving parts.

• Attach equalizer to a clean flat metal surface for heat transfer
• Use provided clips to fasten to socket wires — no soldering needed
• Position away from plastic, moving components, and fluid lines

Will this work with my car and LED bulbs?

The equalizer is compatible with most vehicles when used with LED replacements for turn signals, brake lights, and other exterior bulbs. It’s intended to correct load-based warnings and hyper-flash that result from lower current draw of LEDs. Always verify fit and wiring compatibility for your specific model and consult your vehicle manual or Sylvania’s replacement guide if unsure.

• Best paired with LED replacement bulbs that trigger hyper-flash
• Works on most passenger vehicles; check fitment before purchase
• Pack of two supports both sides of a single axle or two independent circuits

What thermal and safety features does it include?

The unit incorporates a high-capacity heat sink and requires a metal mounting surface to shed heat efficiently, lowering the case temperature compared with unmounted resistors. Proper mounting reduces risk of overheating and extends component life; follow installation guidelines to maintain safe operation. The rugged construction meets aftermarket durability expectations for automotive electrical accessories.

• Integrated heat sink lowers surface temperature during use
• Metal mounting ensures consistent thermal transfer and safety
• Durable housing suitable for under-hood or behind-bumper mounting areas

Who is this for? If you’ve upgraded your vehicle’s exterior lights to LED bulbs and now experience fast turn-signal flashing or dash bulb warnings, the SYLVANIA Load Equalizer 27W (pack of 2) provides a practical, non-invasive fix. It’s aimed at car owners, mechanics, and installers who want to retain LED efficiency without electrical errors, offering a durable, easy-to-install solution that complements SYLVANIA’s range of automotive lighting products.
