I didn't, I have LED tail lights on all my cars they draw about 1W, I haven't yet converted all my dash lights to LED, but there's only about 5W there, either way you'll never be able to measure the impact of draws like that except maybe in a very accurate lab situation.
If you've never noticed the FE effect of headlights, the effect of fitting a solar panel will only be 1/3 of that (ie you won't notice it). An SG2 will save you much more than a solar panel.
Realisitcally, if you're concerned about alt. load, reducing it is the first place to start. LED's throughout if done carefully, will improve safety, last forever and save fuel.
