    Here to be able to learn and share from everyone.
    First question is about the antenna not getting a good reception with my led lights on. What is the relationship to the two? And the last one, anyone out there knows of a good radio head replacement for SR5 4.6?
    Thank you.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Are your LED's OEM or aftermarket? If aftermarket, be aware that cheap LED's do have issues with radio interference. Check out VLED's for quality replacements.

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    I've not experienced that in a vehicle But just last weekend I replaced all the interior lights on an old rv i use at deer lease.

    Well guess what? Some but not all the UHF/VHF channels on the tv are disrupted when the new LED lights (the usual cheap foreign stuff) are turned on, haha. Some retuning will bring them in but that is a hastle.

    So I definitely can say LED light can affect reception, yes the vehicles is AM/FM but it is still an electro magnetic signal that is being disrupted somehow enough to affect hearing/seeing the signals.

    Major bummer. All I can suggest is try a different brand maybe?

    Welcome from OKC! Yep, LED's are your problem with reception.
