Question HID noise through speakers

Hey guys!!!

I have found that after installing the HIDS into the car, I am getting
grounding noise like you would't beleive....

I changed the grounds to better chassis, and upped the guage....

IT helped a bit, but still there. What do you guys recommend? Maybe a filter
possibly an RF filter in series wiht the power?????

Thanks!

Who installed the HID's? Did they ground the body of the ballasts to chassis ground?

I did the install, and I grounded both the body of the ballasts, and the
relays to chassis.

Most HID's direct you to shield the ballasts from chassis ground. You might want to try segregating them from ground, then try it again.

Just make sure that the chassis of the ballast is not grounded or touching ground.
