LED SIDELIGHTS + POOR FM RADIO RECEPTION

[cheech]

Hi
the problem is ive installed some 5x led sidelights in my B6 QS

ive noticed that when i put on my sidelights im LOSING FM RADIO STATIONS ?
any ideas why ?
they are not giving any warnings on DIS .
do i need resistors or just different LED sidelights ?
Can anyone link to known good Led SIDELIGHT BULBS
Thx

I get interference from my HID's, but not my sidelights, have you got HID's?

 

[cheech]

yes got 4300 k HID
am getting fm radio interferece with sidelights switched on
if i remove sidelight bulbs and replace with other 501s NO FM PROBS
so am taking it that its the LEDs
thx

i had the same issue when i installed LED brake lights, in the end took them out i also have HIDs

 

[cheech]

its looking like its the HIDs thats causing FM probs
any one know a soloution ?
its not causing any prob when i put on sidelights with normal 501s( as it was with LEDs)
but put headlights on and a loss of signal is noticable (also TMC has line through it on RNS E ?)
signal loss is not as bad as with LEDs fitted but still losing some strength (a few fm stations go grey )

thx

Do you have both aerials fitted on your RNS-E.

When H.I.D.S power up they do emit a lot of RF, after a minute or so that calms down, making sure you have both aerials fitted and working helps, but is not a 100% cure

@blackpool
yes both aerials fitted ,
i have noticed when driving about that its about 80% better WITHOUT leds , but when in a built up area then signal goes completely ,
is there anyway of eliminting this with boosters or earths ?
thx

One of my friend is also encountering the same problem. He encounter the same interference when the sidelights is on. Do you think replacing a whole new set of turn signal assembly will eliminate the interference or do you have any suggestions about it? It is quite annoying whenever me and my friend heard it.
