O-NEX LED Resistor Kit H4 (9003 HB2) HID Relay Harness Adapter Anti Flicker Error Decoder Warning Canceller

It was fairly simple to install, but after about 20 minutes, I noticed a burning odor coming from the headlamp area. There was a small amount of smoke when I opened the hood. This is what I discovered (see photos). Is this something that happens frequently? The heat shield around the wires going in and out of the resistor being burned away? To be honest, I'm a little worried about it. The resistors aren't near anything that could melt them, and I've even added some heat shielding to the area where they sit, but they seem to be melting on their own. I'd appreciate it if the seller could explain this to me.

That was the case with my Toyota Tundra, which was manufactured in 2006. I only needed one, so I kept the other. I also ordered the fog light version, but I didn't need it because one of the H4 resistors fixed all of my issues. I put it on the rail that connects the battery to the frame, keeping it away from the battery and touching no plastic. If you get too close to them, they WILL melt your plastic. I simply secured mine to the metal with zip ties, which helps to dissipate the heat generated by the resistors even more. I'm going to use the hb4/9006 version of these that I bought but didn't end up needing for my Tundra to install LEDs in my wife's car (a Honda). br>br>The resistors function by converting excess energy to heat. Because the oil in your old halogen bulbs caused issues with the amount of heat generated, if you touched the bulb with your finger at all, it would severely shorten the bulb's life. Although LEDs are hot, they are significantly cooler than traditional bulbs and consume significantly less energy. If the computer in an older vehicle thinks something is wrong, the power has to go somewhere. These resistors convert the excess energy into heat, which means that if you touch them, you will be burned. Also, think about where you're going to put them so they don't melt anything.

On my 2003 Toyota Tacoma, I purchased a set of LED headlights to replace the ones that had burned out. I noticed that the high beam indicator light was not working after I installed them. After contacting the headlights' seller, I was advised to install these restorations, which solved the problem. It's a good thing, too, because replacing the light at the back of that instrument panel is a big job. br>Installation was simple because they connect to the original wiring and the LED headlamps. The only issue I had was finding a place to attach them due to the tight space on the truck's left side. These resistors get hot, especially if they're on for a long time on high beam; there's a lot of plastic under the hood, and the instructions say not to attach them to it because they'll melt it. br>It's a good product for the money; it's well-made and should last a long time.

This was purchased for a Jeep Patriot 2014 model. The flickers did not go away. They also get so hot that I'd be afraid of setting fire to my car every time I started it up. I used fabricated mounts to keep them from touching anything in the engine compartment while still allowing for extra ventilation. They were hot enough to burn my fingertips when I removed them after about 5 minutes of the first test run (while I watched the flickering continue). Don't put your faith in them. Find a professional who can either point you in the right direction or handle the installation for you. These resistors were the reason I abandoned my Jeep's LED lights.

Let's begin with the most common criteria: the bad. The disadvantage is that you may need to supply your own larger zip ties, which I discovered. Finding a location to mount these so that the resistors don't interfere with heat dissipation is also important. The resistors do get very hot. Make sure you don't get too hot. br>br>And now for the good stuff. I have a 2002 Ford Escape in which I installed LED headlights. I lost my fog lights and didn't have a high/low beam indicator on my dash after making the swap. I installed one of the two sets inline and was able to restore fog/driving lights as well as the annoying blue light on the dash that indicates whether or not your high beams are turned on. br>br>I figure I'll need the second set when I replace the fog/driving lights with amber leds. br>br>These are well made and simple to install.

This item resolved an issue I was having with the LED headlights I purchased for my 2007 Dodge Ram with CANBUS, which kept flickering and turning off at random intervals. However, since the flashies are no longer present, everything appears to be working fine now after installing these load resistors.

These were purchased to resolve an error message in my 2010 Ford Explorer caused by new LED headlight bulbs. Because the connectors were not installed when they arrived, I had to do so. The wires, however, were unable to be pushed into the connector due to the shrink tubing on them. To lock the connector in place, I gently yanked on the prong inside the connector, but the wires ripped out. br>br>I tried pulling the shrink tubing off another wire to see if that was the issue and discovered one of the wires was barely crimped to the prong (blue wire in photo). br>br>The bottom line. Design and quality are both extremely poor.

changed to a different hid company, and then found out I needed a special harness that wasn't very expensive if not a super expensive one; and then they told me there would be fees to replace those, since I did so before. I was also given instructions for how I could get.
