Without the resistors you will get an error message and/or blow the bulbs. The power difference is the issue. I saw you already asked member "myfootsmells" this same question, I am sure he will be able to help. You can also PM member elite_motorsports as he also sells HID fog light conversions, both vendors will supply you with the necessary wiring if you purchase from them. GL with your purchase...
