1. Why are they even offered?
2. Where are the plug in relays offered? Went to the link on this thread and don't see it. I'm not going to be installing the resistors from mods..

Just bought the resistors from Corvette mods and in reading this, I am understanding that my wiring will melt if installed???

Our hyperflash harness is a much easier to install option and doesn't get stupid-hot like the resistors on the DRL circuit.

Can I just ask those who installed the harness, how much force did you use for the side with the sensor when taking panel off..... mines at the point where I'm going to need to use some force to move it, and fear it may break! it has no screw holding it in, so may be fixed in anohter way..... don't fancy taking out the centre consul!! as that sounds like a nightmare
Okay, I just noticed I am trying to assist someone that was asking a question a year and a half ago....
I need to look at dates on post better. Better late than never! This guy could still be sitting in his garage waiting for an answer I guess.

we offer them in production runs and should have more within the week.

This one's my fault. I'm looking for a C6 alternative to the resistors. My search returned with this but I didn't check what model.

The circuit is used to seeing a 27w power draw. A 50w resistor is designed to effectively cope with the additional wattage requirements without failing. A 20w MIGHT work, but that depends on the current draw of the LEDs and how much power is dissipated by the resistor.

Provided the resistor has a heat sink of some kind and the body of the resistor is not touching the wire, the wire insulation will not melt. The fuse for a given circuit will pop before the wire sees enough current to melt.
