So for Christmas my cousin got me a HID kit for the car. I have never installed a kit before, but its self explanatory. My question is will I need load resistors for the factory computer.

Specs its a Visionari Dual beam kit 6000k
I guess its sorta plug and play. It has one inlet plug for the factory light harness 12v battery taps a ground at each ballast and a relay wired in to it.
I think I'm gonna need one because only one side will plug in. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

yeah one side plugs in frank but thats just for the signal to go hi lo the hids pull power from the battery not from your factory harness now so you wont need a resistor just hook em up or bring the car here or ill do it when im there haha im sure youll be fine

Ok 2 more questions

How hot do the ballasts get? Just wondering for placement.
The resistors come as 2 so do I plug one inline of the hid harness and one just sitting there plugged in? Or do I just use one?

the ballasts dont get horrendously hot. which style ballasts are the those big ones like on eddies car or the thin ones like my car? the resistor hmm can you send me a pic or post it here i would have to see the lugs on it you should use overything in the kit

They are the bigger ballasts

, but for free I wont complain. I can't find my camera so I'll take a pic and text it to you.

Here are the resistors from the company the HID's are from

ok well with a setup like that with the built in resistor you shouldnt need those capacitors they make them more for dodges with the bulb out warning lights on the dash s197s dont have something that advanced so you shouldnt need those but if you do just plug the one in because you shouldnt have to do anything with the one thats not getting used
