They do not look like a hack job either, they look like an upgrade. You can search, I posted up my DIY a year or so ago. 
BTW...If you're buying 1 new fan, why not do both with all new resistors? Then you don't have to go through this again...and it will likely happen. The factory resistors are prone to failure as they get old, and given their location.

If I buy new it won't be OEM. What do you think of these?

I'm considering buying used from a local (75 miles out)... but they have 100K on them. However... I thought I might buy the used... and replace the resistors (like you did).
What would you do?
Buy those aftermarket pair for $110 or buy a used pair... I'm thinking I could get the pair for ~$75?
Thanks, and
