Information carried over from my pinball machine refurbish.

Typically Leds Draw less current, and since the ol machine had not been
played with for a LONG time we decided on ordering a full led kit for
it.
We did that for the obvious reasons:  Lots of light bulbs, led's will
create a lot less heat inside that big box, and last a lot longer, and
since only some needed additional circuitry work a little less power
consumed.

In order for them to work in that application additional work was
required to avoid 60hz 'flashing' of some of the LED's.
Had to add resisters to the lamp circuit to up the current draw so the
electronics would latch and hold thereby no more 60hz flickering.
Nope, we didn't spend the larger dollars to get the LED bulbs with the
resister built in. Enough older pinball machines still out there so a
few venders had the enhanced LED light bulbs designed.
They did still represent a total power consumption reduction

We CAN use LED's for some lighting in the old cars BUT any circuit that
requires a certain current load would probably benefit from additional
(Properly current rated) resistance added in the electrical path.

Blinkers and dash lighting comes to mind right off da batz

NOW, having gone thru that, with some lighting, leds that have the
Higher Lumens output still generate HEAT, so Not all are 'cool running'
some of the early LED replacements for automotive headlights had built
in cooling fans and any 'conversion' had to take the extra size the
added fans had into account during trial fittings. That Might still be
the case.
