LED low bulb not allowing headlight motors to go back down?
I installed some LED 9006 bulbs and the lights work fine, but once the headlight doors pop up, they will not go back down when the lights are turned off. I assume I need a resistor of some sort, does anyone have any ideas?

While a resistor would work, it will also present a substantial fire hazard given how hot it would get. Load resistors for LED turn signals only have to dissipate ~25w of power. A headlight resistors that could compensate for LED bulbs would have to Dissipate over double that wattage.
A much simpler solution is to simply turn on your high beams, then turn off your headlights. As long as you have halogen high beam bulbs this will work.
