HIDs affecting radio? (lol wut)

I have no idea why this is happening...

When I have my HID fog lights on, my radio can barely hold a signal with any radio station. As soon as I turn them off, the radio is fine. I know I installed them correctly so idk what is going on.

Maybe a power drain? Somehow wire wise they are probably drawing current from the same source. Try a relay on the HIDs to grab power from battery directly

DC ballasts do this.

AC ballasts with seperate ignition should not. And it also should not if you have a relay. ALTHOUGH I have not proved these yet. I never listen to the radio doesnt both me.
