Dave, I wasn’t criticizing your methods or your intentions, sorry if it came across that way. The resistors that come with the HD LED lights are relatively small and that's what I was basing the response on, maybe the resistors for your lights are different. My experience has been to cleverly hide the resistor installation while still allowing some air circulation to help keep them from getting too hot. BTW, I’m also a believer in the KISS principle but my wife claims I can ‘over simplify’ anything………...
