Then you don't need switch backs LEDs, just the regular would do. Yes, you need resistors for LED bulbs.
Switch backs are for day time running lights that double as blinkers. The running lights would switch into blinking mode and then switch back to running lights.
Since our blinkers are not running lights, you can't use switch back anyways (unless you mod the wiring).
