Default hid problem

i gotta cheap set of HIDs for my 95 civic coupe and they look great. But i noticed that when i have them on i have less reception on my radio. does anyone else have this problem? i was in a rush so i didnt bolt down the ballast. can it be a ground problem? i have the diver ballast next to the power steering bottle and the passenger ballast on under my intake filter.

has nothing to do with bad placing the ballast its just HID suck energy out of our old cars try charging your battery or replace the battery i had the problem when i turned on my HID with fog lights so i replaced my battery and radio had no static

I have the same problem and I just made a post about it. But I had the problem before having the HIDs installed. My problem is definitely not the battery. I'm also thinking the HIDs don't draw as much energy as halogens (at least with mine my idle doesn't go up as much when I turn my lights on like it did with the stock lights). I have a Civic VX with the 500RPM idle.
