Hey guys, I have a satellite radio in my car. I installed HID's in the car last week, everytime I turn the lights ON it get nothing but static, but if I place my hand behind the unit the music comes back. What can I do to remedy this condition? Thanks

It's interference. If you can't relocate your antenna then try moving your ballasts and igniters.

The tinfoil hat was a joke! But I suppose it's worth a try :D

Regardless if it was a joke or not I am going to explore every avenue before resorting to replacing the HID's with some non generic ones haha. :D

I had the same problem as you, after I installed a GT-HID kit, every time I turned on the lights, my radio was filled with static.

Of course I only found this out after I had completely re-assembled the front of the car...


... so I bought an iPod.


Sorry, I can't be much help.
