    FM Reception drops 90% with HID's

    Since installing the plug and play hid kit from a GB on here, my fm radio reception really craps out when the headlights get turned on. any thoughts here? Im thinking it s a ground problem, but the HID kit itself dosent have a ground outside the headlight harness.. Any thoughts?

    Greg, would you please post a pic of the installed power supply?

    Just for the hell of it, make sure your hood has a ground strap...

      Try installing hid's with the supplied relay harness.

        Sorry i never got back to this. last week i got the motor and trans back in the car. seems the problem has gone away. i never got near the headlights either. I did have the hood of, so maybe the ground strap on the hood had some corrosion?

        Thanks for the input tho. i'll be sure to post back up if the issue returns
