    Hey guys I'm wondering if any of you had trouble with this..
    I bought a 6k Kensun HID kit off Amazon for my 06' probably like 6 months ago and installed it. Now when you turn the head lights on it interferes with the radio a little bit, makes it kind of scratchy (not real bad, but kind of annoying).. When you turn the lights off the sound is clear.. I unplugged the DRL's so the lights aren't on all the time too..
    The driver side ballast I installed on the back of the headlight by the battery and the passenger side I stuffed it under the the stock air intake by the air box if I remember right.

    It's not that bad, but I'm was just wondering if anyone knows if its the ballasts that would be causing this? I'm guessing that's what is but is there something I can wrap them in to keep it from messing with the radio?

    Thanks
