I put Resistor inside the halogen headlight and closed cap to have un-error LED AE...so will resistor burns all my wires inside the headlight?

From my understanding, resistors get really hot and will melt surrounding plastics if not carefully positioned. Resistors should be placed on metallic surfaces away from plastics...

and its a good idea to use heavy duty resistors with the metal heat sinks, not the ceramic.

Long, I'm going to have to BAN you. I have grown weary of your posts.

You can check how mutch heat there will be by using ohms low then you know what you need to do with heat.Resistors come in how many w they can take.It is wice to by resitors that are at least *2 the watt needed.

Yeah, I was only teasing. ;)
