The detection of a burned out light is current based. You have to understand resistance in "parallel" and how it effect current and total load resistance.
Lets say the left turn signal is a total of 100 ohms stock. Lets say the LED strip is also 100 ohms. When you add a LED strip in parallel with the 100 ohm stock light, the total resistance is now only 50 ohms total because you have "split" it in two load paths.
Make sense now?
