Good evening learned ones, I have just replaced the LED indicator/park lights in my Bull Bar with another pair from a different manufacturer (I
broke one of the first set with an animal strike). These new LED park/indicators are giving me radio interference when they come on making the Wireless unlistenable :-( . Any clues on how to suppress the static? Can I solder something into the Earth wire to stop it? Any advice appreciated. Kanga.

Hi Andrew, the first set I got from ARB in Mandurah, but they don't stock them any more, I got these new ones from eBay a couple of weeks ago. Just had a look on eBay to contact the guy I bought these from and see if there is a fix for the problem, there is another seller selling the same LEDs that I had in the first place that didn't cause any problems, these look like the the first set.

These are the ones that are causing RF interference

I have bought gear from
Bright light auto parts before without problems, will give them a shout tomorrow. Cheers, Kanga.

The screw holes were about half a mil different and the wires just finish with no connector, you solder them into your light wires. Hope this helps.

Hi Bucky, that is a pretty impressive range of product they have, I just rang them about their gear and to their knowledge they have only one item they know of that causes interference ( a big truck rear light cluster) unfortunately they don't have the size I need for the cutout in my Bull Bar, bu**er. Anyhow thanks for the tip. Kanga.
