Radio/CD player interference with LED Switchbacks?
A friend of mine with a an 04 Z16 Z06 tells me after he installed LED switchbacks for his front DRL/turn signal, that he's getting some interference/static when he uses his radio and even when he puts in a CD? He also has the hyper flash harness bypass.
I'm wondering b/c I just bought the clear corners, LED switchbacks, LED turn signals, hyper flash harness bypass from Corvette Enhancements. Although it is tough to hear over the roar of long tube headers with no cats and Borla Stingers, I DO like to use my radio and CD player sometimes.
Radio whine/interference is very often a ground (or ground loop) problem. I know he didnt touch any of the radio power wires changing to LED's but that doesnt mean a a ground couldnt have gone bad. Id look there first.
Could also shoot over to the audio section and ask pentalvo, seems to be an experienced installer, may advise where to look.
