I always read that the necessary ones were 20W 8 ohms. that is assuming that the HIDs you have are the 35 watt kind.

Do yuo have anything plugged into the p/s OEM light harness at all? Something like this that tricks the PCM into thinking there is a bulb on the pass side?

So what should I get, 6 ohm, or 8 ohm.... I can get high wattage right, its the ohms that is more important right... It can be fifty watts or more right.. Radio shack doesnt have them, so I am going to order one.. Like I said my lights only have one resistor..

I know RS doesnt have them. Thats why I gave the ebay link. Ohms wont matter from 6 to 8.

Most kits only come with one side as you say. Thats not uncommon.
