LED fog resister placement?

Blueeyesredpanda · 10-03-2016, 08:53 PM

I bought led fog light it comes with resister. I just installed them, but not sure where i should place the resistor?

The resistors will probably get pretty hot so I'd recommend NOT mounting them to anything that's plastic. Maybe the bumper support?

Yes it is pretty hot. I left it hanging like this, because I'm not too sure where to put it.

I coded out the bulb check. No need for a resistor.

So for the app it will cost $62, and the bluetooth connector it will be $45.
$107, i guess thats cheaper than getting a laptop, since the function is about the same.
Is it possible that i can just use one of those $10 eBay obd2 bluetooth connector?

Yup, and it's easier and you have options to code other things as well. Works great

Nope you have to use the Carly adapter.

The second party adapters no longer work.
