Default HID kit - L&R dipped headlight warning ?'s

Hey, I'm pretty new here. This is very minor, but I've tried searching. found some stuff, but no "how to" to get this fixed.
So if anyone can help me out or has a link they can post, i would greatly appreciate.

The problem: The Left and Right dipped headlights warning after installing a HID kit in my b6.

take a look at my AWESOME* diagram here.... it shows how it installs. now i have heard you can use a resistor in the stock wires to make the comp think they're working fine, or you can splice the power wire into the stock wiring (instead of battery) but not sure how accurate that is.... I DO know that i'm not the only one that had this issue here, but on those couple of posts, this was all i found out...

None went into detail on fixing... Please help.

The stock lights use 55 watts each and the HIDs use 35 watts each.
A 7.2 ohm resistor in parallel with each HID should work. Make sure they
can take 20 watts.

I ran into the same problem on my gfs volvo. just order these here: http://www.hidsonline.com/product.php?product_id=126

If you dont ever want to deal with this again, then its def worth the $20. Comes with all connectors needed and are very good quality. Just make sure you mount them in a safe place away from plastics, they get extremely hot. Also just a + I ordered these with standard shipping and they got to my house 2 days later : )

Thanks for the input! So this $20 set just acts as the resistor, did it come with instructions on how to install? Think that's the route I'll go.
