LED bulbs and dash error message-

2006 xc70 Has anyone installed resistors to null the dash messages? Lights are great, but I want to install the resistors to eliminate the problem. Please, don't suggest other LED bulbs, I am satisfied with these, just need instructions as to what size resistors and placement. Since they get quite hot, can I locate the resistors outside of the headlight housing, using long leads from the connection to the engine compartment. Any issues that I need to be concerned with?

    I take it that you are talking about headlight bulbs and you are getting dash messages.

    Is this correct?

    In most cases, heat equals light - if you reduce voltage to a bulb, it would produce less light

    I think that I do not understand your question.

    Are the headlight bulbs too hot or are the resistors too hot? Either way, you could damage some expensive stuff.
