Rear LED lights issue

Has anyone installed LED tail lights and have an EMI issue. When I apply the brakes or signal, I get interference on my radio with stations with weak signals. Strong station or CD playing is not affected. What's the best way to shield the EMI?

Tks,

I couldn't tell you what it was called, but I have read another thread about this issue, and I believe they had as least a workable solution to it. I've never had any EMI issues with mine.
running the wires through a ferrite core maybe?

I have LED Halo taillights on my car - no problem at all with the radio reception.
