WARNING, DO NOT USE, PLEASE READ. - Cameron UK - 25:th-Jul-2014

So I purchased a pair of these the other day.
http://www.customled.co.uk/products/canbus-accessories/144~t20-7443-resistor-error-canceller
After fitting both I turned on the car, cleared the errors and both bulbs working, then all of a sudden I see smoke coming out.
Turned the car off and it was one of them on fire,
They were plugged in tightly and the correct way.
Be careful
