Default hot to install a resistor for HID???

Since the install of my HID's the buckets don't go down. I understand with low wattage this is expected behavior. I found a resistor from another project but not sure how to install it on the vette.

- Does it install from the ballast power wires on the positive/ negative?

- I do not see a positive/ negative marked on the resistor, can it install either way?

Any help appreciated!

In case anyone is intersted, I fixed my problem. I installed a 20amp 5ohm resistor and it did the trick! I connected it to the power, and negative wires from the ballast before leading into the OEM low beam harness. So far, so good...
