Hey Jason! What you can do is add load resistors on the trailer side # DI34ZR. This is the most cost effective and permanent fix for the issue. They will wire into the left and right turn/brake circuits to simulate the draw of incandescent lights so your truck reads everything correctly.
You can use the pigtail like the # 421-491RS you looked at as well but you will need one for each light, and you have to match the type of connector used on the light. If you don't mind a little splicing with the quick splices the # DI34ZR is still the way to go.
