Elite Vision Advanced Automotive AccessoriesHID/LED Resistors H13 (9008)

Man, these are so much easier than the ones you have to use the clips, and it still has the resistors in parallel which is cool. Only problem is that for my car at least the socket part that connects to my car was too shallow, causing it not to lock into place and sometimes it jiggles loose. I’ll get around to fixing it by taking the flange off so it can seat all the way.

Be really careful before you plug everything in, one of the teeth was bent more backwards than the rest of them and when you try to plug the item in, the thing breaks or bends so bad that you cant use it again. Cheap product. Also NON RETURNABLE. I did get a refund from amazon but looking over the product page I did not see a no return policy. Stay away from products that haven't been rated or reviewed yet.

HID/LED Resistors were relatively easy to set up. plug and play and then find a mount appropriate to avoid melting the plastics on your vehicle since the resistors do get very hot. However, because the product is cheaply made, what I noticed is that the electrical tape that binds the wires to the metal well eventually melt, loosen, and separate which will result and flickering and the aftermarket LED headlights you purchased to stop working. Now, I have tried soldering the wires to the metal part that didn't work. I tried re taping it that didn't work. Overall, I believe that the design of these resistors is not good. Or rather the quality is so poor that it makes the device useless and ineffective. I used mine for roughly 2 weeks before I noticed my left led headlight was Flickering. Afterwards, moments later, that headlight went out. It was nighttime so I checked the following morning and that is when I noticed the separation of the plastic or tape from the resistor. I am disappointed and will look for another brand to purchase from.

These are cheap for a reason. Do they work? Yes. The parts are similar to other led resistors. Both male connectors were difficult to align the pins in the female connector. One when I pushed the two together actually pushed one pin out exposing the poor crimp, with several wire strands not in the crimp. Since most wires were I just put the pin in in place and completed my install, afraid if I looked closely I'd be taking all connectors apart and redoing them. Like I said they work, this project is done.... next time I get some other brand.

If you're installing these be aware that they get VERY hot. They need to be mounted to a metal surface (usually outside of the headlight housing).If i'd designed them, i'd have left the wire sets to the resistors off since they're not really long enough to reach anywhere. I had to make jumper wires so the resisters could be attached to the metal frame.
