My opinion is the circuit breaker is designed for the wire size. The bike is protected from LED by the housing of the light.
Would not hurt to add a inline fuse if other components are on the taillight breaker.

What are you asking?
A circuit breaker is essentially a resettable fuse.
The LED taillight will draw significantly less current than the original incandescent bulb, so there is no reason to alter the wiring or circuitry simply because youve upgraded the taillight to LED.
What you may be referring to is a load equalizer (resistor) that needs to be added when converting to LED turn signals.
This is because the load of the LED bulb is low enough that the circuit configuration needs to closely match the original circuitry in order for the new bulb to work properly.
