I'd be a little concerned sticking those resistors inside the housing like that long term. Typically, you see them mounted on the nearest metal surface, away from any plastic. And that's with resistors for turn signal bulbs. I would assume that most people are going to be running juice through their angel eyes a lot longer and more consistently than turn signals. I think if I went with these, I'd figure out a way to cut a notch in the AE cover and find some metal near, but not touching, the plastic housing to mount the resistors. By putting them INSIDE the housing, you're actually risking heat damage to the wires, connectors, etc. in the housing itself, and not just warping or melting the housing.
