You might want to try installing a relay with the coil in line with a resistor matching the bulb then use the relay contacts to feed a seperate supply to the LED.

This year I replaced the original side, indicator and brake lights on my Defender with a set of LED lights from Roverantics and there is an interesting story here!

Well, when parked up, you cant tell....but when, for example you brake, the Light-up time is much faster, and its an instanst off=>on...no fade-up, fade-down like you get with a standard bulb. LEDS were used int eh Centre-High mounted postion, as on motoerway (High-way) the quicker light-up times have been proved to give about half a second advantage on warning the person behind you have applied the brakes....not a lot, but if your traveeling at 85mph Not that I would officer), it works out at a few meters extra stopping distance.
