I didn't have an option about the resistors really, without them the turn signals flashed too fast. Many people with the earlier 5th gen LED tails run them with no issues, you just can't attach them to anything plastic or rubber. That is why I mounted them like i did. They are not in contact with anything but the aluminum mount brackets, and they have as much surface area exposed to the air as possible. They are also out of the way of the path water takes through that area. I bought good quality ones and not ebay specials. I also read that there are cases where they can burn out so that's why they are attached to my harness with quick disconnects in case I ever need to change them.
