I know its the left HID ballast or bulb that causes it. I had an HID bulb go out, so I replaced it with the normal sealed beam for a few days until my new HID bulb came in. And the radio was fine on the FM stations between 93 and 96. If you need any more info, let me know. I was think of connecting the grounds for the left and right ballasts with a wire. I grounded them each on a bolt that I used to mount their respective ballast, so I was gonna run a wire to each of the ground points.
Thanks

Wow... This is a first... I can honestly say I've never heard of HID lamps interfering with radio stations.
