radio with hids

just wondering if anyone can help me on this,

i got hids in my car and everytime i switch the hids on the radio signal goes fuzzy and wen i turn the hids off radio is perfect, is it something got to do wit an earth on the hids

anyone no wat it could be???

thanks:)

had that the last time got new hid,s and problem sorted, i think its down 2 the box that the hid,s were running off

its the hid ballasts they omit a high frequency that screws with da radio .could also depend on where you have the ballasts mounted

You need to check your earths gav and make sure the boxes are insulated and not touching the body ie bare metal. Do you have a sub or amp setup?

ideally, something that will insulate them. Im guessing theyre an aluminium ballast and not a plastic one? If you mount them to the body a piece of rubber or nylon covered in insulation tape will do the trick
