Default Static with fog switch

Good Morning!

I recently installed some rigid fogs on my truck, and after i installed them, i noticed i got horrid static through my speakers when i use the radio while they are on. if they are off, its fine. any ideas why this happens? is it because the wiring is too close to the antenna? if so, is there a correct distance thats safe? thanks for any help!

It sound to me like you have a loose connection and it is causing the static.

Hids will cause this too. It's either rfi or current draw. But leds take very little
