Are we on the same page?  The way I read it, it was a resistance 
measurement from the coil positive wire to the white or white/brown wire 
on the fuse box, with the ignition switch turned on, in order to find 
out if there was a ballast wire in the coil harness.  I wouldn't attach 
my ohmmeter to a hot circuit.
