Question,

So I don't know why this might be exactly but for some reason when I turn on my HID lights at night my radio all of a sudden goes staticky as hell. I know its cause of the amperage draw because when the lights are off the radio stations work perfect! I do have a short antenna which might be why as well im just not sure on what you all seen with your HID's. I dont care that much since I listen to my ipod through the stereo but im planning to give the car back to the parents and im sure they would like it to work. Is it because I didnt install the battery wire kit for the HID. I saw the lights came with like a direct wire bundle that went to the battery. Would that most likely fix the problem. It just looked like a lot of work and never installed it. Thanks.
