Radio Static & Upfitter Switches

Sorry if this was already talked about,but couldnt find the thread.
So,finally wired in my 2 Rigid Driving & Fog pods in my bumper yesterday...and they work like a charm...
Took it for ride that afternoon,,so they were off,and Radio was on...Comming home it was dark and of course I wanted to see how they looked...flipped the switches #1 & #2 and Radio has terrible static...
I know they are hooked up correct,even used the special Raptor Harness they sell to make it easier and neat....
Where did I go wrong?
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

Where did you ground the lights to?

Try putting a noise suppression magnet on the power lead.

I have 2 sets of Rigid's. No static.

Hey..thanks for reply to my question...I attached a photo....I grounded it to the inside fender right next to where the Neg. Battery cable is grounded. Wrong spot??

Yeah,really weird...wouldnt think it would effect the Radio....but I also believe in "Murphys Law"...

Yep..thats where I assumed they got grounded...and the wire I used,since it was a custom harness just for the Raptor,the Ground Wire lined up and was long enough to reach that spot....Sure its gonna be some stupid simple mistake I made.

I HAVE A 17 MY FM GETS BAD WHEN I FLIP ON MY #1 OR #2 SWITCH.GROUNDED TO BATT.CANT USE SWITCHES IF I WANT TO LISTEN TO RADIO.
