so do anyone know if i would need to use resistors with these turn signals, if I already use resistors with the projector retrofitted headlights?

thanks

Where would you use switchbacks on a NNBS Yukon? :think:

HID projectors don't require resistors, so if you are going to use any PnP led bulb as a turn signal you will need resistors to prevent hyperflash.

Moving your DRL from it's existing location as a low voltage current of your high beam, to your park/turn signal spot is an almost insane amount of work just to have switchbacks. Plus there are no three circuit/function led bulbs that I am aware of that can be drl/ts/park concurrently. You'd essentially need to rewire your drl to the upper reflector to coexist with your TS, remove the park permanently and just have the side marker as parking light. Like I said, it's a lotta work.

yes sounds like it, i thought it would be a simple plug in of the new LED bulb with the added resistors

Well, you can certainly get a regular 3157 amber led bulb and resistor and have the turn signal and park light in the upper reflector led ... it just won't be a switchback.
