Two different things. The resistor in series is a current limiting resistor.
What he is referring to applies when you replace your actual turn signals (front and/or back) with LEDs. The flasher unit is current dependent and won't flash right.....unless you get the current back up or get a different kind of flasher. The load balancers are LARGE wattage resistory in parallel with the new LED bulbs. Kind of makes the whole change pointless, IMHO.
Changing only the indicatory lights on the dash does not create that kind of problem.
