Default HID Kit interference with FM radio

I installed a HID kit on my 350z yesterday. But when the night came and i could actually turn them on. I noticed that it makes my FM stations crazy static. When i turn them off it goes back to perfect

I don't know if anyone has ever had this problem

Any ideas on a fix?

It has to be your wiring. Recheck it hopefully you wont have to remove the bumper again

Hello, it is due to low quality ballasts. Switch to digital ballasts, most the slim-type and you should solve the problem. Thanks. WWW.SAGAHID.COM

Usually this problem comes with low signal FM stations. Sat. radios should not be an issue here. www.sagahid.com
