i think its like a resistor or something, i had some help with that when i had problems with my hid kit! i think its like a dimmer but the opposite for when the lights turn on making the side lights brighter as they "warm up"

the dim dip resistor brings on the dipped beams dimly when the sidelights are on. the undocumented feature is to set fire to your headlight loom when its wiring rubs thru on the chassis leg.
