I would double check the grounds to both your radio and your HID's. Sometimes if the grounds aren't connected, they will blow the fuse or cause things to short out.

LOL you would need projectors that you can retrofit into non projector housings to you LOL - are you even using casper shields?

so you don't do projectors but you do blind people (on-coming traffic)

I think it's more an issue of using low-quality components.

Are they both stock radios? Is the wiring for the kit "plug-and-play"?

It could be the way the unit is shielded, the sensitivity of the antenna, etc.
