The LED lights, white for the bed lights, and red for the CHMSL were pushed into the sockets and the polarity was checked for function.
All the lights were functional so we reinstalled the light lens.
We made sure the gasket was seated when we reinstalled the lens. Even in bright daylight, it was very obvious that the LED’s were much brighter than the filament bulbs.
Wow, the LED lights were much brighter than OEM. We had heard that LED light’s brightness goes down significantly within a few minutes of operation once they get hot. These LED bulbs seemed to have a lot of heat sinking and we left them all on for over 10 minutes they were still very bright, we could not tell that they dimmed at all.

I like these articles. It keeps things relatable for those of us on tighter budgets
So the resistor is only needed for anything that blinks, like a turn signal, and not backup lights or brake lights?
Yes, it explains that in the article.
