Your draw on a tube of LEDs, even after resistors (which really don't draw anything extra).... maybe .25 amps on a 12V rail (on a bad day, and counting like 20 LEDs used at once). I mod computers constantly, and when using purely LEDs... I have yet to see a system fade under use because of LEDs. They're just too damn power efficient.
Basically, the use of power in amps from least to most would be LED --> EL --> Cold Cathode --> Neon.
Same thing holds true for cars as it does for computers, as they have a common denominator (12V power sources or available 12V power on one of the rails of the Power Supply Unit).
