Put in resistors. And they work perfectly now. Will come on when the truck is off, won't flicker, and won't stay dim when the light is turned off.

This should be the resistors I have used.

470 ohm 1/2W 5% Carbon Film Resistor pk/5 - RadioShack.com

Basically, push the resistor leads into each of the prongs that hold the bulb, exactly like the bulb sits.

the resisters just go from the red to the black wire one for each light

Basically, yes. Except in this case, I didn't literally tie it into the wire. It's pushed up into the blub socket in the same way the bulb is. So that it is running in parallel to the bulb, through the same socket.
