Resistor?  :huh:  do you mean the 'no buzz' piece?  :undecided:

I got one to fit as the one supplied with my kit doesn't fit the take off on my EGR delete pipe - thread is different so I had to get the 1.8T piece and mod it to fit though I need to blank off one end which is tomorrow's job  :smiley:

No,mine came with a little resistor to fit into the illumination wiring,it dulls the illumination so it's a perfect match to the clocks.Maybe they have perfected the colour now.

ah right - didn't get anything like that; just some scotch locks, cable ties, and some piping
