Default Headlights hack

I got some cool halos lights but had to do some hacking to make them work.


Hopefully, this post will help somebody in the future.



Basically stock lights have two bulbs in parallel and these halo's have only one bulb for turn signal. Naturally, having one load less in the circuit makes it blink faster. To redeem the situation I installed 2 resistors (2 ohm, 50 watts).

Here is how they look like. You can find them online ($8-15 or so).



While I was waiting for those resistors to arrive here's a small solution I came up with. Walmart, $4 plastic containers, knife.



The said casing worked fine.
