Got mine installed last night works great. Alot easier then messing with the grounds on the car.

is that sliver box the resistor?

Jeff,

Doesn't the resistor simply substitute for the load a standard headlamp puts on the electrical system? if so, why would it be detrimental or an issue?

That is exactly what it does. When I was installing the led headlights on my car I turned on the lights after the first one was in and found everything working properly including the fog lights. when I installed the second light and tested everything I noticed the fog light problem. The resistor is advertised as a fix for the bulb out problem some cars experience when converting to leds. Both problems are addressed by simulating the load of an normal bulb, thats why you only need one.

That's easy to zip tie. I had to do the same with my Ballasts for my HID projectors on my 91

As posted in #105, don't know how to do the arrow thing to point out in the pic...but take notice of the plastic ties I used, fits up very nicely in the top of the housing, and it's secure...

Resistor tucked up nice and secure...

You are correct and there is no issue with it..

I just would change to the relay to make it less than the OEM load.. that is all

Again just curious, if it isn't such an issue with the resistor, then why bother with the relay? Is it that much of a load difference??? The resistor is a breeze to install, compared to adding another relay and cutting or connecting into a wire harness which would take more time....

Yes I did the same with mine fits like a glove
