Is there a video or post that shows the resisters being installed? I saw the video of the light being installed without the resistors. Just got my light in today, look amazing even in the box.

Resistor pack has a pigtail electrical connector which plugs into a comparable connector on the lights then it's just a matter of fitting the light and the pack into the fender opening - not difficult at all.

It's very easy. The resistors even have 3M double-sided tape already on them. Just peel off the red sticker on the tape, and place the resister inside. I put mine on the pointy side of the light housing in the fender because I knew that it wouldn't interfere with anything on the back of the light in that position. You can't miss the connection to the light.

Just read through this thread, and must have missed the pricing.

They look real good - I must say.

How much or dectanes vs rotecs?

Ok ok I should reserve judgement until I see them in person. Thx for the info!

Based on my read, looks like a handful have reported issues with condensation, LEDs going out, and some error codes being thrown.
I wonder how these hold up over time.... Winter, fall.... Hot, cold... Uv.

did any of you order from these US guys?
