Default Load Resistors

Anyone know where I can pick up a 50w 6ohm other than ordering online? I hate waiting for shipping

Radio Shack or a locally-owned electronics shop.

My shack only has up to 5w

Tried all the auto parts stores too, figure they would have them because of hid kits... no dice.

Ive looked locally around me and never found them. Autozone had 25w load resistors and you could double them up but for the trouble and cost, I wouldnt want to

what do I need to emulate a 3150 bulb... 6ohm 50w?

Im not sure what the 3150 bulb is but only the headlights are 50/55w watt bulbs and thus the need for 50w load resistors. Anything else like turns and such are not 50 watts so the smaller 25 watt load resistors will work on them

Yeah and I guess with the short amount of time they are on I don't need to worry about a smaller resistor. I just need to fool the computer into thinking a bulb is there.

It's either that route, or I need to find a faster relay.
