[Seeking Advice] Wanting to eliminate resistors on Retroshop HIDs

[sullivan]

Hi everyone,

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Laramie that came with factory projectors and halogen bulbs.

I installed a Retroshop HID kit for my low beams earlier this year.

While I haven't had any issues with the lights so far, I did not like the bulky resistors. I hated mounting them and the idea that they get extremely hot. I haven't felt or tested the temperature. From what I have read they get extremely hot.

My question, is it possible to remove these resistors or no? I am seeing something about Alfa OBD but am unsure if the options in this will help me eliminate the resistors and not produce lamp-out lights on the dash.

If you can detach the resistors from the ballasts get rid of them

If you set the truck to HID with AlfaOBD you only need the ballasts and ignitors installed.
