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
