You will need a resistor for each lamp.

The resistance of an LED lamp is high enough that the BCM thinks it is an open circuit (burnt out bulb). A resistor is placed in parallel with the lamp to bring the total resistance down to what the BCM wants to see. The resistor will produce quite a bit of heat, so make sure it is mounted away from things that will melt easily.
