If your LEDs are working fine without the resistors, leave them off. The only reason you might need them is to draw extra current so the computer doesn't think the bulb is burnt out, or the LED to flashes too quickly. LEDs draw much less current than normal bulbs. Since the resistors draw current that the LED doesn't need, it gets hot as it dissipates that current as heat.
