FYI, my hid kit did not need the resistor. I did have a HID bulb failure and the light came on but went back off when the bulb was replaced. I also had a license plate bulb go out on me. Both the plate and HID only displayed the bulb out warning when the lights were turned on. This one confused me since it came on immediately without even hitting the brakes.
