Default LED install ?

So I bought new LED bulbs for my front turn, front corner marker, reverse, and license plate lights. I know I need to install load resistors for turn signals, but my question is, do I need to install load protectors on my other lights to help protect against surging to make the lights lifespan last?

No. You only need the load resistors because your existing relays will act as if theres no current draw at all, since LEDs are so power efficient.
