Are there any markings/numbers on that connector?
I assume you used the ones from the poppers themselves?

Yeah just reused the originals.
The connectors didn't show up in the diagrams with the official part numbers but here is what's on the side.
Hope it helps

That's probably the mold pocket, so they can track defects to a specific pocket.
This one's tough. It may be a Yazaki brand connector, but not sure. Still digging.

From Digikey, 2 resistors ($0.44) and shipping ($6.99) is BARELY cheaper than the $7.99 from Amazon...assuming Prime with free shipping. I can 100% see myself buying 2 from Digi to save the $0.50 and losing one.
Back in Ye Olden Days you'd just stop by a Radio Shack.

I'm not dead set on deleting my poppers, but I'm actually tempted to get the stuff from Amazon just to see if it works. If so, I feel like I'll leave everything where it is, seal off the popper connectors and add the resistor/connectors to the harness side. Not sure if that would be a bad idea, but it's one more thing I may need to put back before I got rid of it.

Here's the resistors I used. You probably don't need 100 but not sure what the shipping is like from DigiKey.

Are you running this with 1 watt resistors and no issues? I made a couple of sets with 2 ohm 1 watt, planning to send a set to someone here to try out, and I’m concerned about the wattage. Don’t want to undo, buy and redo what I’ve done, but I’m more than willing to do whatever to keep them from failing prematurely.

The wattage should only matter if the ecu actually tries to fire the poppers, in which case the resistors will probably burn out. (but I think this is what the ecu expects to happen)

Weather is still garbage here so she's only been on the road here and there, but yeah. No codes, nothing pending, all clear for days.

Drago86 is correct. Wattage doesn't really matter.
