Hids ruining radio signal

rongdoer · Oct 25, 2009, 09:59 PM

I put in a hid kit and now every time I turn my lights on the radio gets really fuzzy. It's an aftermarket stereo but, jeez I don't know what I could do.

+1

Or check your Grounds upfront by the actual lights. Did you install both at the same time or one after the other. Moreover, when did the problem occur? I am assuming you had the aftermarket stereo, everything was fine, installed the headlights; fuzz. If thats the case then I would say check your headlight(s) ground. It may seem odd, but in the end a bad ground can do funny things to your car. Friend of mine built a B16 in a civic, car wouldn't turn over b\c of a bad/ incorrect ground.

Lastly, and this would be the last thing I would think about, but just curious where did you get the HIDs? Used? did they come out of someone elses car? are you 100% they are in 100% working order?

Lol that's kind of a broad statement. That's like him asking why his car won't run (threw a rod and doesn't kno it yet). And u popping in and saying "your out of gas! Already been down that road!" lol

And what was the point of posting that? At least he gave some feedback.... What did you give nothing.. Fail

+1 to the ground though. Make sure your speaker wires are seperated from other wires. This might cause it to.. Just a thought though. Good Luck!

Lol oddly enough I thought to actually recommend/ say it could be a ballast in my post a few back, just thought it would be jumping to conclusions too fast...

LOL
Wife tells me Iam not as smart as I think Iam , and I might be(Iam) wrong .
But he said he just put them in , from what Ive seen most new HID kits dont use the solenoid/wiring set but instead use a plug-n- play set up .
So it shouldnt be a ground seeing how it uses the stock wiring .
Soooooo I say the its the Ballest(s) and I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night

Yea tough to tell, OP left a few details out, and we haven't heard back from him since. My money is on something with the lights, like I said just a few details left out to really dive into it. Funny you had the same thing happen, in an ironic way.
