I have two 4" LEDs mounted to the front bumper. Power comes from the switched side of the the factory power strip under the hood. When they are turned on, the factory radio turns to static. Anyone know of a fix ?

This is the result of electromagnetic interference. Confirm the switch wires do not contact or come in close proximity of the radio antenna. If that doesn't work, add an accessory fuse panel and ground bar that is separate from the radio. Use the factory accessory post as the on lead to a 80Amp relay powering the accessory fuse panel.

I'd suggest as Yooper82 says...install another switched fuse block under the hood. That's what I did. one is hot all the time, the other is switched using the 10 amp accessory wire for the trigger.

This ^^

Many lower cost lights create radio noise. The LED headlights I put on mime do and I expected they would as they were $150 for the pair ....
