The interference i get is when the strength of the local radio station drops. Lights off in these areas i can still get the radio perfect, lights on nothing but static

I like your logic :)

Think i will try screening the cables or else earthing the ballast just incase. Out of curiosity wher did you mount your ballasts? Mine is behind the washer bottle on the drivers side and around the fuse box on the passenger side

Yeah i used the code,thankfully i found it before i placed the order, a nice little saving. The lights make one hell of a difference. Mine are the 5k ones with the reflector band
