Advans, looks very good. Take another pic from further away with all the lights on. I'm curious to see how they look from an "oncoming traffic" perspective. Either way, looks very nice and looks like they match your HID's well.
Hmmm...maybe I need to start my lighting projects and stop being so lazy...LOL.

agreed. can someone do that? where shall we meet? Kings plaza...top floor? queens plaza? Where would be a good idea.... I think Kings plaza, the parking level under sears would be great. no ones there, its indoor. and we can show off our cool looking LIGHTS!!!!!!! ahah

Perfecto!
matches great man, you have 8000k hid right? they say 8000k looks more deep blue, i think it looks perfectly crisp clean WHITE with a hint of blue. good match man love it

25 Watt resistors are an overkill here as the original bulb is rated at 5 Watts. Would be enough to get 30 Ohm / 10 Watt resistors in aluminum heat sink housing - more compact and draw less current than the 25 Ohm ones.
Can be ordered from Mouser Electronics, http://www.mouser.com. P/N 284-HS10-30F.

If it happened as the person described, then he must not have done it properly. Either the resistance was wrong (25 Ohms would get you 5.76Watts - need to use 30 or 35 Ohm), or the resistors were mounted in a tight space so they got overheated and the solder points melted. You have to mount these resistors to make sure the heat can dissipate freely.
Again, 30Ohm/10W resistors are all that is needed here.
