You'll more than likely need a load equalizer because LED turnsignal bulbs impose less electrical load, causing the flasher to blink too quickly. I'd suggest you check with the company that sold them to you for guidance.

I changed my turnsignals out to clear lenses and LED's, but changed back to incandescent bulbs because my GZ's flasher system wouldn't flash at all with them (or too fast to see).

Then, I had to go back to amber lenses on the front because amber colored bulbs are .2 watt too much load to flash (stock Suzuki front TS bulbs are lower wattage than the std. 1156 bulb, but not the twin element 1157's in the rear, WTF??).

So now I have clear lenses with red colored bulbs in the rear and amber lenses with stock bulbs in front.

GZ's electrical system is very sensitive to changes, although it did tolerate an original "Back-Off" module without a problem.

Welcome and good luck.
