For the tail and brake lights you should not need "load resistors". You =
may need them for the indicator lights if you use the original style =
bi-metal flasher relay. You have to make certain though that the wiring =
and especially the contacts and fittings are perfectly clean and make =
100% contact.

If you are going to use the load resistors you need two for each double =
filament bulb as there are two power leads.

The instructions for installation of the resistors simply talk about the =
resistor's being installed between the power and ground leads to each =
fixture but it does not specify which power lead.  My question is:  do I =
connect the ground lead to the tail light power lead or the turn signal =
power lead or does it matter?  I cannot envision connecting it to both =
as that would defeat their separate function.
