DRL resistors, which ones?

[Dani_B19]

Anyone recommended a set of resistors I can run for my Factory fitted DRLs?

Fitted some black plastic ones off eBay that come with the bulb holder and bulb adaptor, unfortunately after 20 minutes of use they have started to melt haha, lucky I preemptively saw this happening and mounted them externally to limit any potential damage. Anyway I want to get them off sooner rather than.

So any recommendations?

I know what your saying Jase but they just don't look as good as LED's.

I agree buddy but they were melting the plastic housing
I use 501 leds but the larger DRL have quite large resistors and they were honestly so hot I couldn't hold them
If you have a recommendation I would appreciate it

The same ones as you have pal and touch wood are still fine.

Well messaged him to see what he does.

Anyone any recommendations of resistors then? They don't have to be plug and play ones like what I have currently, frankly they weren't plig and play and needed heaikbky altering hAha.
