Default Tail light problem

I replaced my reverse lights and my license plate lights with white LED's today.

My issue comes into play where the driver side license plate light has a contact issue. Meaning, when fully inserted, the light will not light up. Yet, when you pull it out a hair, it lights up but not as bright as it should.

My warning light is lit on the dash telling me I have a burned out bulb.

I wouldn't think I need load resistors for the reverse lights because they are single contact. Or do I? Is it that or because the license plate light isn't powering enough?

I just noticed that the warning light comes on only when you put the car in reverse.

How many load resistors do I need if I want to convert all of the bulbs back there to LED?
