On the bright side, most people who retrofit LED into older cars will blow out the lights right away, rather than on the road with the horrible glare with HID retrofit.
Take a look at Luxeon bulbs they have 2 LEDs but with good cooling design and will be way brighter than the bulbs you got.

If that's the case, then you would need to install an in line current limiting resistor. That should help protect against some surges.
