Default Rigid lights interfering with radio???

Has anybody had any radio interference when turning on their rigid industries lights or any other light for that matter? I personally haven't had this problem but a spokes person for a different lighting company was saying this.

I've had my d2 on the windshield for almost a year and I've never had an issue with mine.

If my radio is playing FM, and I turn on my Rigid spots (windshield mounted, passenger light is very close if not touching my antenna-X stubby antenna), there is a noticeable jump in static sound. Just my personal experience, and most likely has to do with how close they are to the antenna and may happen with any light mounted there. Never bothered me since I don't ever have the spots on when listening to FM (off-road lights only).
