I have Led headlights and rigid dog lights. Both of them affect my radio signal alot. Like if I turn them off I get great reception. If I turn them on one by one it gets worse... why??

There is excessive noise being generated. Are you using the factory power plugs to supply your fog lamps or are you using a aftermarket switch?

My LED headlights don't mess with my radio, but the HIDs I had on my Titan killed the little bit of reception my 50 cal bullet antenna allowed. It was pretty bad.

It's possible that your Rigid lights may have bad ground pushing noise into your system, or ground-loop with multiple ground connections.

Are you using their wiring harness with relay and switch?

 

Can you isolate LED headlights from Rigids on noise issue to determine which is causing issue?

 

I have seen HID's with bad relays or grounding cause noise in AM spectrum..

 

Good Luck !!

I had the same issue

 

The problema are not the lights, what is causing your interference is your relay, engaged it generates a magnetic field that interferes with your antenna

 

Nothing, Absolutely nothing to be concerned about

 

Are you using the Relay that came with the Rigid Lights? If not, try changing it, see if it goes away :smash:

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
