I've switched to LED stop lights in the name of safety. In terms of fuel consumption it's going to be virtually zero, especially since us hypermilers don't brake much and I tend to sit at traffic lights with the engine off, the car in first and my foot off the brake.
Turn signals are a similar story, they're only on for a tiny portion of the time you drive.
The only lights you might see a payback on is lights that are on with the head lights (markers, tails, license plate etc), but even then only if you drive a lot at night/ bad weather. These ones are also the cheapest/ easiest to replace.
