I measured the 194 bulbs I have and at 13.8v they draw 21ma. I would guess yours draws more to produce more light. My 160 degree 3w leds require a heat sink, but if I run them at around 600ma they barely warm up and produce a lot of light (light/watt).
More money than time is a nice setup, but I know what you mean, I work 8 days in a row, 10 hour days, and 1 hour from work, but my off time is great... 6 full days, so I have time 1/2 of the time lol.
I should be able to fab up something with my 3W leds, the 194 bulb sockets, and the correct resister size. Maybe if I get a system down, members here would be interested in the DIY guide
