thekyman, place the resisters in parallel to draw more current.

It origonally used 55 watts and now uses 35 watts. A 7 ohm
resistor that can handle 20 watts in parallel is needed.

Do I install that on the side that im using to tell the ballasts I want my lights on?

Do I also install that on the side that isn't plugged into anthing now?

I that headlight lamp out warning when I got my HID's too, and although it bothered me at first, I don't even notice it now.

Will I need to also place a resistor on the headlight connector that is currently being used by the relay harness?

I [sm=smiley27.gif] HID

-might as well make a DIY if you can about the resistor... would probably be useful for others

The resistor should go across 12V when the HID is on.

Would 2 8ohm, 20W resistors work? and how exactly would i wire them in??
