Mine does. But I’m on the stock setting. I didn’t change any DRL options with forscan.

Thanks for reply, I went back in my notes and didn't enable/disable anything with the DRL thru Forscan. I went into my settings thru the steering wheel and DRL box is checked.

So call me the dummy, what is DRL? And I was under the assumption that I could install these without forscan? Plug and play?

Ok My bad on the DRL, they come on when the truck is in drive, not idle in park. I still have static on all radio stations for sure, 100%. The lights did not cause a DRL issue.

I recently installed the Beamtech fanless H13 and 9005 fog lights and have no static. It sucks that you are having this problem.

If you have the time and are willing to investigate this issue further, you could try unplugging the bulbs one at a time and see if the static goes away. My thinking is that one bulb is likely faulty and it’s internal power supply is generating Interference.

I have the same issue but I haven't had time to look into it yet, I have been extremely busy. I tried some ferrite snap on filters I had laying around hoping for a quick fix with no luck but did not loop the wires yet. I went ahead and ordered what beamtech calls inline "decoders". Their engrish isn't that great. As soon as they come in I will give them a shot as they are plug and play. It was $14 for 4 shipped. If I have time at lunch today I can pull one and put it on the bench in the lab to see what's going on. It's just quicker right now to go the plug n play route.

They responded to me, I cut and pasted in a previous post, and they said the would send the "decoders" to me in aprox 6 days. I agree that there might be one or 2 that are causing the static, lets be honest these are inexpensive overseas LED, quality control isnt the greatest if not monitored by the company contracting the run.

Received "decoders" today, look like they are a filter of some type, say "Canbus" on them. Problem is they only sent 2! Sent a message on 2 more.
