HID's interfere with radio?

I just installed my Vision Bulbs 8000K kit, and I used the relay harness. When I start my car, my radio gets a lot of static when the lights come on. It lasts for about a minute then gets a little better, but its still really sensative. Like there is one station that is usually hard to get when not in the open, and now I cant hardly get it at all anywhere. Even stations that came in strong before, come in slightly staticy. Any help?

Do you have the stock radio and antenna? What about your speakers are they all stock using the stock amp?

I checked all my connections, I will try and ground it to somthing with less paint on it, but I doubt thats the problem with my passenger headlight.

Well, my ballast went bad after 2 days, so I had to send it back. I got a new one in, and my radio is still fuzzy with the lights on. Its all stock radio, and I grounded to a bolt on the strut tower.

Any ideas? Where did you guys ground to that have no problems?

Thanks,
Aj

Get something like this and scrape all of the paint off of the surface that you are grounding it to. You are not really grounding it out if you are on a surface with paint.
