Re: LED headlight upgrade

Re: LED headlight upgrade
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?

Re: LED headlight upgrade
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.

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

Re: LED headlight upgrade
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...
