Haven't found an issue with that, at least on one vehicle anyway. My father runs LED's in his GTO. All the tail lights and side markers etc... But when he installed yellow LED bulbs in the front lower running/turn signal lights, something wonky happened and signals wouldn't flash, some of the lights would stay on and some wouldn't.

I had a feeling a ground wasn't being completed somewhere. However once he reinstalled standard yellow incandescent bulbs just in the front signal lights only, everything returned to normal and works as it should. So he just left it that way, still running LED's in the tail lights. He does use a different flasher in it to work with the LED's.

Kind of weird but his car didn't like LED's in the front market lights.
