This will also help with your alternator kill switch, since your lights won't be drawing as much from your battery. You'll need electronic relays for your blinkers and hazard lights, which also draw less (they don't work by way of inductance like the traditional clicker relays do) and they're quieter.
...Old school sports car mirrors (the bullets) often look great, and are about 1/2 to 1/3 the A of your current OEM mirrors....

Def. eventually gonna do this. I was actually researching about LED's today at work!
As far as mirrors, I've seen some aftermarket Carbon fiber f-1 styled side mirrors that i've been eying as well.
Thanks for all of your input Christ, gonna have to copy and paste everything you've suggested look back at it later. So many ideas!!
