[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 139140, member: 264"] Maybe try disconnecting the ballast units one at a time to see if its one side or both causing the interference, but switch the lights off and wait a few minutes before fiddling with the wires as you could get a belt from one if the lights are on ;) How good are the units earthed? A quick rub with some sandpaper to get a clean earth point may help if its screwed down onto a painted area. ( Add layer of paint or grease over the finished connection to prevent corrosion ) Theres a fair amount of electronics inside the ballasts to step the voltage up enough to initiate and then sustain an arc across the burner electrodes (in the bulb). If one or both of them is causing some interference whilst having a good earth connection, that could be transmitted through the wiring as high frequency noise and affect the radio reception.
