I got the led fog lights from the same place I got the resistor:

they work great.

As far as the fog light problem, I solved it with one of these plug and play resistors which I got here:

They are sold by the pair but you just need one, the resistor is a little big but it fits nicely behind the headlight bucket and it fixed the problem with the fog lights

Steve, just curious on how you attached the resistor behind the headlight bucket? I imagine you use double-sided tape, or did you use plastic ties to secure? Thanks for any info....

The resistor is housed in a fairly large (3 1/2") aluminum box that fits nicely inside the housing behind the headlight bucket without anything holding it

Received the headlights today. Does anyone know what the two wires on the right at for, besides the H4 connection?
Also waiting for a reply from the company.....thx....

Think I found the answer......Connector : H4, and included is a H4 to H13 converter, I would imagine that's what the additional 2 connectors are for are.....DRL....
And that was just confirmed by the tech person who just called.....
Apparently they are sending him lights with the added connectors, when he in fact is requesting them not to send them. So no big deal, just tape them up with some electrical tape and you are good....

Just about complete with the left headlight install. Realized that I have one u-nut missing to secure the headlight cover on the side, now explains why there was movement before...
Also found a good place for the resistor (necessary for operation of the fog lights) to rest inside the bucket (as Steve mentioned) and used plastic ties to keep secure from movement.
Just need to get the u-nut and wrap it up...RS will be easy, no resistor necessary as per Steve, so the lights are now upgraded. Fog replacement bulbs next!!!

Resistor tucked up nice and secure...

Headlamp installed, retainer polished....lol no one will ever see it...lol...
