will this same type of trick work with my LED tail lights that got a lower resistence than my data transfer bus. My mechanic said an inline resistor would work but... has anyone had this problem. My light out signal comes on every time my brakes are on.
It will work if you can calculate the correct resistor using the (wattage needed for your LEDS) and the (orginal wattage of the halogen bulbs).

hey guys, you need to run what is known as a canceler box for your hid kits. some of the newer ballasts are "digital" and they have the parts built in. older and more generic kits {believe me its hard to tell} need this canceller or digital wiring harness as its sometimes known. they sell for about 40 bucks per pair. you can email me at xbunlocked@hotmail.com and if you are having trouble finding them. i just stumbled across this forum trying to fix an issue with a diesel truck that stalls everytime the hids are lit.
Found this on ebay-

Come to think of it, it could be just a resistor in the box...

BTW the 2.2k 1/2 w resistor works to correct the bulb out problem.

You use a resistor on each side, I'm not sure how the fogs work, since I didn't do a Fog conversion.
Good luck guys!
