Ballasts?
I just replaced my ballasts after they failed so I got new bulbs/ballasts from umnitza. After installing the new items, I'm now getting radio interference whenever I turn my lights on. Checked all my connections and everything seems right. Any suggestions on how to correct this? I have an '01 330CI business CD headunit. Thanks for any info.

Radio interference is caused by cheap/non OEM ballasts.

That doesn't explain anything, infinite. I've got non-OEM ballasts, and I have absolutely no radio interference whatsover.
Kaos, did you have OEM ballasts before? Is your car coded for xenons?

It explains everything. Cheaply made ballasts will cause RF interference. Hell, some OEM ballasts cause RF interference. It's the nature of the electronics of the ballasts.

Place a wire from the back of the stereo deck to the the chassis as another ground. Let me know if it eliminates the interference or minimizes it.

These are umnitza's P46's that have been reflashed by the dealership not to throw an error code. The radio interference has only happened with the new bulbs/ballast, also from umnitza. I'll try running another ground wire to see if I can eliminate the problems and post the results asap, thanks for the help.
