I know quality digital ballasts would take care of the issue for good, but I believe that a relay kit would at the very least mitigate the issue.
The reason I say that is my hella 700's are converted over to 55 watt HID's with ddm's cheap raptor ballasts, but they are run off a relay and I get no noticeable feedback or noise through my stereo,

Then I guess it is all in the ballasts and the fact my hella's are drawing power straight from a seperate relay harness that is only activated by the high beam circuit they won't feedback regardless.
My fog's are ddm's digital ballasts and they seem to be noise free.

Poor re
I just Googled "RF interference from HID lights" and got thousands of hits.
Most seem to suggest that the problem originates with inexpensive/poor quality ballasts.
I get the impression that you can do all sorts of things to try to FILTER that noise, boost the radio signal, ground the radio better, etc.
OR, and what I would do if it were me, you can try to eliminate the problem at the source with a better-designed ballast in the first place.

It should work in theory lol. might overheat though.
