Do I need to reconnect the light AND a resistor, or will just the resistor suffice?

2 watt should be more than enough, that 160mA at 12V. You can have just a 560 ohm resistor, you don't need the light. If you had the light and you've since taken it out then that is definitely the source of your issue.
