RIDDLE ME THIS...every since i connected the HIDs my vehicle has made a tone sound and all gauges on the instrument cluster and the radio goes out...truck still running and i'm driving...has this happened to you? i keep my headlights on the auto selector so i dont have to worry about turning them on and off...but it doesnt matter how i have my headlight...when they come on this happens...what is shorting out? i look at my connections and all are connected correctly...positive to positive and negative to negative...or the lights wouldnt work...

Try unhooking one at a time to narrow the problem then switch sides to find out which part is causing the problem

are the ballasts digital or analog? the analogs are known to cause those types of problems on some vehicles
