2011 FLHX. Just put on LED Motolights, which are activated through the Accessory switch on the dash.

When the Motolight LED's get turned on, I immediately get FM radio static. This happens when using either the stock HD antenna, an under-the-fairing hidden antenna, or both.

I tried moving the Motolight wiring harness and antenna cables to different areas under the fairing, but no luck.

I'm almost afraid to put my HD LED Daymaker on tomorrow.

Is this to be expected when using LED's?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Motolights offers two different LED bulbs, standard, and high output. My understanding is the high output is designed to prevent radio noise. Check to see which LEDs you received.

I ordered the 'Ultra Bright' (high output).

Thanks

Call 1-800-567-8346 during normal business hours and ask them.  And no, it is not something you should expect with LED's.

Sounds like a bad ground to me. I haven't seen their instructions but for a trouble shooting tip, try running a temp ground right to the battery to see if that helps.

I followed their instructions explicitly, grounding the Motolights directly to the battery.

Thanks
