    I installed this today, and it looks awesome!

    What's with the buttons on the remote though? The two strobe buttons seem to do the same thing. One has 1 lightning bolt and the other has 2. I can't tell any difference between them.

    I don’t have one in there. It’s a reflection from the scoop off my camera lens

    Just did this a couple days ago while dropping in a new Faux Chinese Knock off grill ... quick easy project.

    The one issue I'm having though, is when I turn the light on, it interferes with the radio signal ... nothing but static. No interference with Sirius/XM ... anyone else have a similar issue or thoughts on a remedy?

    Thanks.

    You have it hooked up to a remote or wired to a switch? I don’t have this problem but I have mine wired to a remote. I guess the only thing I can say it the light will be used primarily for off roading and won’t interfear with daily driving. You got me stumped on this one.

    Used the remote as well. Not too good with electrical issues, so thought I'd just ask. Haha

    Where did you connect your wires to ground it/power source. I actually vaguely remember some minor static when I first installed but like I said it’s not legal for road use so it’s not super often that I use it. Also when I go off road and use it I like to turn the radio off and listen to my surroundings/truck lol. I’ll have to go give it another test and see if I have any interfearance at all

    I hooked directly to the positive terminal and used the same ground as the battery ... not a big deal as you mentioned, just found it odd

    Update: mines doing a similar thing. When I have poor radio connection it turns into strait static, when I have good connection it doesn’t seem to affect it much. Much have something to do with the radio waves and Bluetooth waves? More of an excuse to listen to xm is how I look at it!

    I wonder if you can get an RF Filter and put it some on the wiring during installation and it will keep the static to a minimum. I know you can get them super cheap on Amazon.

    The double lightning blinks twice and the single only blinks once. Also if you double click either one it speeds up the blinks.

    Try some ferrite choke cores and clamp them over your wires. Had the same issue when I installed my HID kit in my 02'.
