For all those who want to keep their DLR lights once they switched to led lights, this might be of interest to you.

I don't know if this is useful but in my case, living in Mexico I couldn't find any place where they sold the kit to keep the DLR lights, and whoever sells it seeks to take advantage and sell it for almost 135 usd, so I decided to make it myself and I actually spent 6 dollars, and I had enough material to make two kits (one for me and one for a friend).

This is what I bought:

A pair of 50W ceramic resistors: https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0dskNY

A pair of 9005 male-female connectors: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr9z88m

1 meter of 18 Awg. duplex cable.

I attach the diagram of how to connect and assemble the extension, so far I'm going for 7 months with my LED lights working without any problem.

They don't ship to Mexico, in fact I think they only ship to the US :(
i was able to get one in canada, but yeah that doesn't mean crap for you unfortunately.

i think most of the rest of the world is rather tired of the shipping issues outside the US
