Most of the savings would be lost through using a resistor.
I don't think you would have to rig up a resistor LED assembly to draw the same amps as a standard bulb, I think you just have to get close to it.
A standard 194 bulb uses about 250ma. A 194LED uses between 10 and 15 ma. Most vehicles with the new computer stuff don't pick up on the 10 to 15 ma as being a load. You may be able to add in a resistor and bring the amp draw up to say 100ma.
But then if the LED goes out the "bulb out" alarm wont signal.
To make the blinkers work normal on my GM truck I switched out the thermal blinker module switch to a heavy duty magnetic blinker module and I left the standard incandescent bulbs in the front blinkers.
In some states the cops will pull some one over if their blinker is blinking too fast.
