    To start with you to get them as far apart as possible, certainly not tied together

    Most new inverters are cheap and noisy. Best just to turn them off every morning before you drive. Do you hear noise through the radio when you charge a phone? Does it go away if you touch a bare metal part of the radio, like the mic jack? If so, then there are grounding issues.

    Managed to move the coax about 6 inches from the cables. Drastic improvement on noise.
    SWR on the meter is down as well. 20181128_112226.jpg

    And no no noise when a phone charger is plugged in even before moving and grounding

    Well here is the thing about that light, there is an adjustment in the radio for that light, but I would get an extenral meter and check the SWR first.
