Default LED Tails FM Interference?
Was thinking of getting Vette Lights LED tail light bulbs with their resistors. For those that have installed, do you have FM radio interference? I was not sure if they supplied ferrite bead? Thank for any help...

I have the AlphaRex LEDs with resistors, zero interference with my local FM stations. No bead included.

I also have no problems with FM channels and noise, and 3rd brake light and tail lights from the company.

I have LED’s all around, tails, third brake, laser side makers, backups, Morimoto heads, and fogs, and I have no issues.

I have only read issues with radio and dash light interference from LED tails. I have had Eagle Eye and other brands before without issue. On this car I only want LED bulbs, without the interference that be caused by them. I think the harness I posted will accomplish that,

Another member on here recently posted his Youtube LED tail bulb shootout, and that was the bulb he chose.

Yep, mine aren’t bulbs, the LED’s on mine are built into the housing.

I had issues with the LEDs interfering with radio reception. I did not have any resistors in the circuit.

After I installed the Morimoto (1st gen) headlights and a new Kenwood head unit, I started having a weak FM signal in the area around where I live. I live about 60 miles from the FM station. I used ferrite on both headlights, and it didn't help. When I would get closer to civilization, the reception was strong. So, I just uploaded a bunch of classic rock cd's to my iPhone and now I have the kind of music I like anytime I want to listen to it.

Yes, they are very good bulbs. I will say though I tried their built-in resistor bulbs for DRL, and they did still hyper flash.
