Good to know! I'll pull them in the morning and see what happens. Didnt think about cruise controlled. Kinda worried abo it having issues with that though now. But the new tails have resistors built in so should I be worried?
Ull be good with those tails, as far as cruise goes.

If you use an LED compatible flasher, you don't need resistors for the turn signals, but you will probably need one on at least one brake light to allow the cruise to work. I only installed one load resistor (the left side) and my cruise control works again.

Needing a load resistor on the brake lights entirely depends on the way the engineer designed the circuit for the tail lights.
If they built in a full wave bridge rectifier for the brake light circuit (that is what makes the any of the aftermarket LEDs polarity insensitive, and allows the alternating flash feature of the side maker lights up front when you have your parking lights on), you won't need it.
If they decided to save a few cents on each light, you will need one.

No such thing as easy. So irritated right now. So my passenger side led tall, the c shape stays light and the square block of LEDs flash for turn signals when the lights are engaged. On the drivers side both he c shape and the square block flash for turn signal. noticed it last night. This morning, while switch is in auto and there's no lights staying on during the day,both c shape and square block on both sides flash the same for turn signal. Can't figure out in the evening when lights are engaged why they are flashing differently.

Switch the lights side-to-side (have someone hold them or sit them inside the cargo area if possible since you can't mount them) to see if it's the lights or your truck. If the problem follows the light then you know they're defective.

Like this ? It's on a silvy but same concept, should be exactly. Did you install resistors ?

Maybe you have the brake light plugged into the turn signal plug on one side, idk, just takin a guess
