The reason it's not practical is that you have to put the load on the trailer side with actual bulbs (or heavy-watt resistors). You could easily test it on the kitchen table with a battery, some wire, alligator clips, and 1157 bulbs. Think about it, all you're doing is mimicking the setup that you have in the car, without the flasher.
