Ok Emperor need your help again....I decided to re-install the HID's (meaning taking out all the wires and re-installing them). Well this time I did not install the relay harness thinking that maybe that was the problem and i get the same result. Radio station is fine but as soon as I turn on HIDs, radio gets static.....I'm beginning to think that maybe its my ballasts. Anyone know if these things put out any type of signal that could interfere with the radio? I'm thinking I just have really cheap ballasts cuz they are HUGE and clunky

BTW i got my 6,000k kit from here http://www.xenonlink.com/ and here is a picture of the ballasts that came with the kit http://www.xenonlink.com/index.php?cPath=125

well i googled radio interference with HIDs last night and have read a few things on different forums. I guess the cheaper ballasts aren't shielded completely ??, and can sometimes cause radio interference. So i guess i'm gonna look into buying new ballasts to see if it helps
