Fixing LED light bar radio interference
Anyone else get a high pitched whine on AM radio when powering up the LED light bar? I'm guessing some ferrite cores will resolve the issue, on order.

My old cheapo LED fogs gave me the same thing through my CB. I am guessing a lot of it has to do with the quality of LED, but yes ferrite cores should fix this issue if placed in the correct spot along the harness of the LED.

Where do you think the correct spot would be, close to power or load?
