LED headlights

Postby Geordie » Mon 31.03.2025, 17:00

Hi all
I’ve converted my headlights to LED ,,they are working fine ,including pods lift/lower,,,and passed UK mot no problem ,only thing is although I experimented with several alternatives I couldn’t get them to work with just a single resistor on passenger side ,if anybody has managed to achieve this would they share which resistor they used and how and where it was fitted (photos would be great)
Cheers in advance

Geordie, I was needing photos too. I asked around here on LEC, tried a few variations and finally got it figured out. I put some photos & resistor type in the thread linked here. Hope it helps you out!

Hi ya
Cheers for reply (at least somebody bothered) your arrangement looks very similar to mine ,I did try to sort with just one resistor on passenger side but found it only worked with a resistor on both sides ,I tried a variety of resistors on just the passenger side but to no avail
Cheers once again
