Default E60 LCI Conversion question

Hi Guys i know that there are many treads about this conversion but i never found tread for the right resistor to make my angel eyes work because now they only start for i few seconds and after that they turn off.My problem is that on my old headlights i had 12v 10w 1 bulb and now i have 12v 35w 1 bulb in the new LCI lights but i don't know how to calculate the right resistor and how to mount it.Please will anyone help me because i'm shure that here is the right place to ask for that.

Hi, i made the conversion from pre lci halogen to lci halogen and used a 10w 15ohm resistor in series (in line) with the angle eyes. It will remove the error however this will affect the brightness of the regular AE. If you replace them with LED it will be brighter as LED consume less power.

Hope this helps and good luck!
