Do the Canbus Load Canceller Anti Flicker Resistors need to be externally mounted on metal due to heat issues?this is how mine are setup.
i only needed 1 canbus error box on the left side and i had to use 2 on the right side.
Hi Stooge, clicked on your link for the nighteye leds on ebay and when checking the vehicle compatibility, it says it wont fit a ZB Commodore. Just wondering if you needed to do any additional modifications to make them fit or do they go straight in?i have just finished adding low beam leds to my zb and it is a bit of a flustercuck.
i used the h7 nighteye leds that i use in the vf and these led kits need no resistors or extras to work in the vf without errors.
these same leds throw errors in the zb so i added resistor modules and that stopped the left error but not the right so i daisy chained 2 resistor modules on the right and the error went away.
so all of this points to the detection in the zb being much more sensitive than the vf and it seems that the right side is more sensitive than the left.
i will have to drive around for a few days to make sure it does not randomly decide the throw another error but so far so good.
these are not what i used but they are all basically the same and you will probably need to buy 2 sets just incase you need to daisy chain them like i did.

EDIT: i have driven it for a few hours with the leds and had a few stop/starts and it has not thrown an error so this means with this setup you can use any hid or led kit you like but i would first test with just one resistor module on each side and see how you go.

Thanks for the quick reply - much appreciated. I only bought my ZB on the weekend and went to Stedi this morning (10minute drive from where I live) thinking there would be a simple plug and play solution, however they started telling me I would need to alter their globes and the housing and get an auto electrician to help me with the wiring - which for someone like me sounds all too hard. I did read this thread this morning and the nighteye leds with resister modules seems to be the easiest solution I can find. I'll try low beam first and see how I go - Cheersthey are not "resistors" in the traditional sense and they do not heat up enough to be a concern so they can go inside the headlight housing.
this is what they contain and they are usually packaged in a small plastic box.
the ebay vehicle compatibility function does not work, it relies on the seller to select the vehicles and many sellers either dont select every compatible vehicle or they set it to be compatible with every vehicle and that produces incorrect results.
the zb commodore uses H7 bulbs in both the high and low beam so any H7 bulb should fit, there are some led bulbs that have stupidly large heatsinks on them and they might need to be trimmed to get the cap on in the zb but the night eyes fit without any modification.

When you daisy chained the two resistor modules is it just a matter of plugging one into the other or is there more to it? Looking at your picture not sure what the middle section is between the 2 modules, where it looks like braided cable?i have just finished adding low beam leds to my zb and it is a bit of a flustercuck.
