There just there to prevent flickering for the drls is what i read online since the drls are reduced power while on lol hell i dont know if i am using them cause i dont use my drls but anyway they are the gold resistors like from ebay (50w 4.5 ohms)

If you're talking about these

They're load resistors to prevent hyper flash of led bulbs, usually. They are supposed to be connected in parallel( one side to pos+ and one side to neg-).
I would try the hids without the resistors first. In most applications, a relay harness is used to prevent flickering and misfires.

Gotcha. I did look them up. But be careful because those resistors tend to get very hot. So mount them in a suitable area.
