Does anyone have a solution to the static noise generated by my darned LED headlights? I have tried resistors which helps with function of the lights but the noise persists. I need to be able to hear because of my line of work avoiding collisions with other trucks on narrow rock roads with limited turn outs. The radio transmits just fine but reception is terrible due to static noise.

Are you running a good ground ? Try running the ground from the battery direct. My older Galaxy Pluto radio had a similar issue, but not to noisy. When I replaced it with my Anytone AT 6666, it all went away.

What type of headlights?
Are they factory or one of those aftermarket chinese junk?Another Canadian driver and Oxbow Thank this. -
The truck had factory halogen headlights, we purchased the LED lights and resistors through Pete dealer. I don’t recall the name brand but I could actually pick up headlights of other trucks on my cb when I’d meet them on the road, so I made sure these weren’t the noisy ones.

I’m back. So the replacement lamps are fmcsa compliant truck lite heated units. They come stock on the 389 two years younger than my truck. Since 75%of our operation is off highway in fog and snow they are a fantastic upgrade.
The chokes did the trick.
