Nope, factory radio/CD all functions work fine with aftermarket HIDs.

I've read that is caused by Magnetic Ballasts...the Digital ones fix that problem

 

[suprchgd99rango]

you guys must have super ghetto hids.

No problems with my HIDs and radio operation.

Maybe so

Well since i put the lights behind the grill i notice static on FM when lights are on. BTW Im running a Kenwood Excelon 693.

Need to fix your grounds then. Usually radio interference is caused by bad groudning,

I've also heard the cheaper magnetic ballasts will cause radio interference, and the slightly more expensive Digital ballasts won't. I must have Digital ones cause my radio still works perfect with my HIDs on.

how about any toruble running HIDs with 2 amps ( killing battery)

 

[polecat]

could also happen if you run the wires for your hids anywhere close to the antenna wire

If you're talking about stereo Amplifiers no they won't affect it, HIDs actually draw less Amperage from the vehicle then regular bulbs do even though they operate on a MUCH higher Voltage, that higher Voltage requirement is the reason for the ballast boxes. But that being said, anytime you increase the load on a vehicles electrical system you MUST upgrade the electrical system to match the load you're putting on it for it to work properly for as long as it should.

And for the op, it is because of the magnetic ballasts....if you were wondering.
