Led lights to save on power?

I have an 08' 1600 and recently added a set of driving lights from Chuckster, a Triple Whammy, and an extra set of rear turn signals. The signals and marker lights all have the standard 1156/1157 bulbs. Now, when I hit the brakes, the rear signals flash like they are supposed to, but also, you can notice the headlight dimming until the flashing is complete. I'm not really sure but is it possible that there is too much of a load being drawn off the battery to operate everything at once? I also have a "sounds of chrome" speaker system(i think thats what they are but they were on the bike when I bought it used). If anyone thinks that I am drawing too much power, is it possible to replace all the turn signal/marker bulbs with LED's to solve the problem? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
