Default Led driving lights

Can anyone recommend led driving lights that are built so that they don't cause radio static? I want either a 12 inch bar or a pair of spit beam lights to mount on my bumper.
Thanks in advance!

Static is mostly caused by faulty wiring

LED's are known to cause RFI, run your grounds straight to the battery or use ferrite beads to minimize the RFI.

I have done both of those things and used a good quality harness solid connections. On my 50 light bar but still get some static. I installed rigid headlights and they are the only ones that do not cause issues.

I have lots of lights on my truck, no issues. You need to ensure your ground is not shared with your radio. Just run a separate ground from your battery for your lights. I actually share my ground for my radio system with my lights (believe it or not). I go to a fuse block. But works great.

It's also about using the proper wiring and good lights.

Check out our site, we have all kinds of lights for Jeeps with all kinds of bolt on light bar mounts.

The lights we sell come with wiring harnesses but as stated, make sure you use a GOOD ground.
