May seem simple on the surface, but it would not be cost-effective, if that type of setup is only required in a small percentage of cases.
By "uphill" side, do you mean the "hot" side? If so (or even if opposite), that implies placing the resistors in series, which would be incorrect. They need to be in parallel with the diodes (shunt them), in order to achieve the desired effect.
EDIT: (this is just an FYI) I have found that the HOT resistance of tungsten filament light bulbs is about 10X the COLD resistance.
