Default Inline HID Resistor

Can anyone tell me the Ohm rating of the 55W resistor used with HID lighting kits to address the opening and closing of the headlamp doors?
I have access to all this stuff and could easily put this together.

Try this:

"Yep we got them. This resistor has been tested on my personal automobile and worked flawlessly. It provides your C5 the necessary 55 watts to keep your low beams opening and closing when using 35 watt HID kits. This adapter plugs right into the ballast and OEM wiring for a fast, easy install. They can be ordered through this link. They are in stock and ready to ship. Order now we only have a limited number available. $25. Only JW Motoring can provide a deal like this!

You can also wire in a small marker light for 3 bucks.
just make sure it is not a led marker light
I did that on mine with no issues

I bought one of these after using the bulb fix, For 25 bucks it is well worth it. The bulb fix works, But the above is done right and looks great.

I believe a 6 ohm will do the trick. Load resistor for LED turn signals will work as well if you have the patience to build your own circuits.
