its quite alright, the only way to know is to ask. you will be fine with those two LEDs, they wont drain your battery out, esp not in two weeks. they have a current draw in the miliamps or smaller area, which is about as much as your 4Runner consumes to remember user settings and data, such as the clock and the ECU. if it dies, and it was purely because of the LED's, then either you got something wrong elsewhere or you left a light on without knowing.

best of luck, and enjoy your vacation!
