Also, LED's have a higher resistance which means they consume less power
Voltage=I*R
Power = I*Voltage

Dude, what?
LEDs have more resistance at rest, although comparing them to incandescent isn't really apples to apples.
Basically, at rest or low current an LED will appear to have more resistance, but a lit bulb will have significantly higher resistance.
When metal heats up it's resistance goes up.
Here is a quote for you.
"The typical cold resistance of a 100 W incandescent lamp is about 9.5 ohms. If that resistance stayed the same with 120 V applied, Ohm's Law tells us that the bulb would draw about 12.5 amps and dissipate about 1,500 watts. That doesn't happen of course, and that's because as the filament heats up, its resistance increases as well. It turns out that at 120 V, the resistance is about 144 ohms, 15 times the cold resistance. The resulting current is 0.83 amps, and the power dissipation is the advertised 100 W."
It explains it a bit more.
More resistance != less power usage. You're confusing how power works.
I tried to lookup dong fang 150cc scooters and all I found were 12v bulbs. Are you sure it is an AC bulb? I've never heard of or seen any AC bulbs on scooters.
I saw some aliexpress links for led flashers, here is one you can get quickly.

Those fit the magician. I'm using one. You do not need separate circuits.
When I installed my LEDs I did not have to rewire anything. I just snipped the old wires from the incandescents and hooked them up to the LEDs.
With an LED flasher and removing the bulb in my odometer they worked fine. They work currently.
There are NO relays that I had to replace, I didn't change anything else.
