I wonder if a 12V 5W car bulb could be put in series with the lot,

If you do that then there isn't much point in looking for halogen as
running them at a lower power makes them look like ordinary lamps.
Can you get none halogen lamps instead these days.

Screwfix have some cheap LED ones

I don't know how many lumen you are getting, these are 210.
