    I just wired my AVEC 30" led lightbar to an aux fuse panel (RTMR) and now when I turn the light on I get a high pitch noise coming from the lightbar area. Any ideas?

    FYI- When I first got my lightbar I tested it using the wiring, relay and switch that came with it, and there was no sound. This is noticed while I'm parked in the garage. Thanks

    Just a few LEDs...
    The light bar most likely uses a switching power supply especially if you can vary the brightness. The result is you might hear high frequency noise generated by the transistors switching on and off. It's normal.
