Default LED foglight and FM reception

Just switched out to LED foglights and my FM reception is cut in half. Just thought i would let you know that you will lose reception capability and have a lot of noise on a weak signal due to circuit board not being properly designed and shielded. If this is a common problem please let me know.

It's a common problem for cheap LEDs, they throw out a lot of RFI.

You can introduce a ferrite ring to the power lines at the fog to see if you can cut back some of the high frequency noise but that's about all you can do outside of taking the entire thing apart and shielding it yourself.
