HID's causing stereo issues...

This is your place for alarms, remote starters, to brag about your system, exaggerate your db levels, or simply ask questions for stock or aftermarket audio. No Flames! (except from roasted amps)

HID's causing stereo issues...

Post by jackr »

So I was wondering has anybody else had any problems with HID lights causing static in their stereo system. I installed a Pioneer Nav unit in my 04 GXP last week and I have been distortion in my sub and my radio. It's driving me nuts anybody got any ideas?..
