Code P0037- O2 heater not working, anyone know what resistance it's supposed to be?

I honestly don't know if that will work, I've never tried it.
Resistive heating elements have the characteristic that their resistance increases as they get hot, and thus the current flowing through them decreases (for a given voltage.)
If the ECU is looking for this current-curve behaviour, which it should be, it'll still throw a code.
If you wish to experiment, be aware that the resistor will dissipate around 15 watts of power, and will get very hot.
