    HID's interfering with radio

    Anyone else notice this? Radio station comes in fine until they come on, goes to static, flip on to normal halogen high beams comes in clear as day. My ballasts are nowhere near the antenna. Anyone had the same issues? Ideas?

    No problems here. The only thing I might have trouble/issues with that I don't know about would be AM radio since I don't listen to it.

    AM is actually fine, don't ask. I'll look into it and overthink it and completely re-engineer HID's just to listen to 102.1 clearly.

    I'm goin to check this out in my truck, since my radio does seem to go static at times. Now that I think about it, mostly at night.

    mine does the same thing only difference is my antenna is ran under the hood. best suggestion i could make would be to add a ground to your ballast on the factory side.

    I tested it on mine, and there was no difference. I have an aftermarket radio, so I don't know if that affects it.
