I know I read this somewhere on the forums. Was a while ago when HIDs were being installed at first. Do a search for HID and check each post. One should say how they fixed the same problem. Don't recall off the top of my head. Getting old, forget things. Hehe.

looked at all the post already and cant find it unless someone knows something i dont and can direct me to the right post

sorry for the trouble

Sounds like RF interferance from the HID lights. Check and make sure all grounds are connected well.

yea i pushed all pluges very tightly into the right spots and have read people had issues but no body has really said a fix, could it be beacause their on the firewall, they are stainless steel boxes and atatched to the firewall, but only sterio reception is efected, anybody else have any ideas i can check again for the bad ground but i really dont think thats it but ill try again later

thanks everyone for your help, keep any ideas coming thanks guys again

Do not have instructions and do not know how yours are mounted. If mounted to plastic you may try an additional ground strap to a good metal ground from the module.

this is where I mounted mine right below the headlight

they are two way taped to the firewall

the sterio will cut in and out just like your leaving a signal untill its totaly gone, by grounding how would you ground it, it seams not everyone had this issue i wonder if its a bad ballast?

I would get the ballasts as far from the radio as possible
