Default interesting electrical problem

Hey guys,

Something weird started happening today. My aftermarket radio when I turn it on shuts off after 20 seconds. It'll stay powered off....

HOWEVER,

if I hit my high beams, it'll come back on. Again it'll stay on then shut itself off.

My headlights I should add are aftermarket. Is this a ground issue somewhere do you guys thing? I couldn't find anything easily noticeable.

If not such an obvious PITA, it would almost be funny. I'm sure one of our tech guys can help.
