Default HID/radio

Hey everyone. I got HIDS installed last week (headlights and fog) but I'm experiencing static when I'm on an FM/AM station when the fogs are on I have no worries with the headlights. This happened before to my '09 just wondering if any else has gone through this and if there's a solution. I'm thinking of wrapping the ballast with static proof bags hoping it'll resolve the problem. Thanks

I would be surprised that you tangled HID lines and radio lines to cause interference. Where did you get the HIDs from? Perhaps a bad kit??

Usually, noise in the radio means there is a ground issue, but I doubt the problem is the radio wiring. Does the static noise frequency change when you push the gas?

Double check the ground connection of the ballasts.
