Both in the evo and the GE I was getting better reception. I live in l.a. and before I wasn't able to get the station 99.1 which is a riverside station without a lot of static and now its cleared up a little more

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I wonder if this would help some HID kit owners who experience static after their install?

don't think a stronger battery will help but maybe the static happens because of the placement of the ballast.

get the buddy club voltage stabilizer to help get better signals. stronger battery will not help the situation.
