1223760 2011-08-17 02:23:00 Before buying any, it may pay you to use a multimeter on the ohms range to check them first, if you haven't already. It is just as or more likely that the control circuit feeding them has failed. Terry Porritt (14)

www.activecomponents.com

nz.mouser.com

You need to search for 2.2 ohm resistors with aluminium housing, the popular make seems to be Arcol.
