I did exactly like you mentioned and once I tapped into the white wire on the right headlight high beam harness, tested it and it blew the fuse inside instead. The resistor did start to get warm as you mentioned so I knew for a fact there was circuit going through but the LED light on the switch didn't seem to light up. I even tried putting a 7.5 fuse in there and got nothing. Grounded it and tried thinking why it wasn't working then just gave up. I had other plans for the day and it was too hot to be working outside.

hmm...well i have no idea what the problem is. although i will say this, that resistor you got from radio shack, throw it out. i had used the same thing when i first did this and it got too hot and cracked itself apart within a few days. it is very hard to find the right resistor. i went to 3 radioshacks, autozone, and finally orielly's.
