With the ground connected to the body, in other words a good ground to the chasis, it will work as a blinker only whether lights are on or not. However, as a consequence, the side marker function is inactive so not sure it will pass inspection like that.
On the rear LEDs, I have not tried "butchering" my car to get these work. I REALLY WANT LED bulbs in back, have cool designs already bought….but cannot get them to work.
Maybe we could all put our heads together and solve the LED problem? There are smarter people who have done this….where are you?

You already answered the LED problem, you need the resistors, LED's simply don't provide the necessary draw that conventional bulbs do.
