2009 Sierra 1500 Denali LED Taillights

Hi,
I ordered some LED Taillights and the company who did sell these, told me "there are prepared and wired with Resistors. Found out today, that was not the case.
I know, I need them for the turn signal lights, BUT, do I need resistors for the brake / tail lights?? And if yes, is there a prewired solution?
Thanks!

Get the correct ones from whoever you bought them from.

Brake and tail lights both show as a 3047 type bulb. This is a two-filament bulb so it definitely acts as a driving and brake/turn light. Your truck will notice improper resistance.

Yes, included in LED bulbs that are properly designed, configured, and assembled.
