HID: Load Resistor

[Maddog]

I finally bit the bullet and installed a Morimoto HID setup using its own relay harness. As part of it, I installed in parallel a 50 watt 6 ohm load resistor to avoid a low beam check light; HID lamps are 35 watts.

The load resistor seems to overheat after the lights running for 15-30 minutes and the circuit triggering the low beam out light, but after works again after cooling off. The resistor is mounted on a metal surface.

Has anyone experienced this? I plan to replace the load resistor and if it still persists to upgrade the resistor to a 100 watt 6 ohm.

Appreciate your feedback/insight.

I use these and never get any kind of indication unless a light is actually out

Thanks MrBurgundy. Will give it a try.

I have 15 year old DDM HID units that don't trigger the bulb out warning when turned on. I'm surprised the Morimoto's don't have load resistors built in.
