Default Need Help With Xenon Conversion Install

I purchased a low beam 6000K xenon conversion kit on my 2003 Z06 from eBay member nissangtrpower. He said that several Corvette Forum members had purchased and installed his kit. Well, after installing the kit, when I turn on my headlights I must rotate the swith twice before they come on. Also, I can not get any radio reception when the lights are on. His tech rep said to run a wire to ground from the black wire in the incoming power connector. I did this with no results. Anyone have a similar problem or a solution for this problem.

Thanks

Do you have the engine running when you turn them on, if not try that.
Have you changed the stock fuse to a 20amp ?

Lots of these odd issue with the kits can be resolved if you install a dedicated battery based wiring harness........sure did for me
