I used a load equalizer for mine. Is that the same as a relay?

no, its a load equalizer.
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another electrical circuit.
a load equalizer will serve the same purpose as a relay, but it functions by, guess what! Equalizing the load. the LED's have a very low current draw, while the original bulbs have a much higher current draw. the load equalizer makes the current draw the same.
A picture might serve the purpose of explaining this much better. The relay receives the power input from your turn signal flasher, and uses a small electromagnet, closes a circuit from the input to the turn signals.

No problem guys ....as far as a load equalizer its 2 resistors in a box ....its a fancy name for 2 10 ohm 10 watt resistors....um in a box
Only a load equalizer $20-$50
resistors $5
its very important you get the 10 ohm 10 watt resistors I have never used anything but them as they place the same load as a normal bulb .
they will cure the fast flash as well1992 kawa Zx-7 -750cc

Just an uptdate; I tried the two 10ohm 10watt resisters (in every way possible, including smashed to powder under my foot) but it would make the lights flash. I did, however, order the load equalizer from Cyclegear and now they work perfectly. Thanks for all the input guys, could do it without ya!!
