    Hey guys,since i have put my h.i.d light's on,the radio makes a hissing sound.It makes it almost impossible to hear the radio.Is this normal? I went and saw the brother inlaw(who also just put some on his croozer and it does the same thing,but not as bad.Any ideas as to what this is ? and to be able to cure it??Any info greatly appreciated!!

    All I can say is that no, it's not normal. Sounds like you've got some weird interference going on.

    Any decent noise suppressor filter capacitor whatever you like to call it should solve the problem.

    Hi/Lo Gool as suggested go to auto shop and get a suppressor, that should stop it, mine did that a few times as well but not any more, go figure

    I've had some experience with auto electrics... the problem occurs mostly with cheap HID kits. They introduce what is called 'ground noise'. As mentioned you can install an in-line 'filter/ground loop isolator' to the earth cable on your head unit that will solve the issue.
