I've actually gone so far as to engineer an LED angel eye solution. All of them are designed in the same way. It's just a high efficiency high power micro sized power supply, combined with a circuit to deal with the bulb check and all the other weird things the car does with these bulbs. It's not a resistor at all though.
Interesting, so what is the nature of the bulb check signal and what oem bulb behavior has to be mimic-ed by the circuit?
