If you wire it in series (inline), that affects how much voltage the light bulbs recieve, making them dimmer (and since they're LED's, they probably won't have enough voltage to work). The resistor would have to be wired in parallel with the bulb so it can simulate the equivalent current draw while still providing 14 volts to the LED bulbs.
If you can find a resistor of equivalent value that can handle the current similar to the equalizer, then you can go with that, but considering how inexpensive these things are, it doesn't really make much sense to reinvent the wheel.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
