"The only way the kit could work is if you soldered to the old or correct plug that had the correct internal connections and resistor"
But I think the point that's being made is this. The old connector doesn't just contain a resistor. It contains a resistor that was calibrated to match that exact sensor.
In other words, I think every L1H1 connector contains a resistor calibrated to match that exact L1H1, and it might not be the right value for some other L1H1 (or L2H2).
So "if you soldered to the old or correct plug that had the correct internal connections and resistor," you wouldn't necessarily be getting a resistor with the correct value.
Would it still work? Probably. How much of a difference would it make? Who knows. It might be the luck of the draw.
