So I switched to some led bulbs for the parking / brake lamps. Now I have the warning light in the cluster saying I have a bulb out.

How do I get that light out?

Sorry voice to text sucks.

Turn signals resistors get really hot. Won't the resistor for the park/brake light get hot too?

Yes they will, but if used correctly and the correct resistance youll be fine. Or reprogram it (no clue how). Or get more expensive bulbs that show no error
