Interference from Fog Lights

[Tbachli]

What value resister and wattage and where did you install it? Share your information.

Actually, you're looking for a capacitor

RADIO NOISE CAPACITOR CONDENSER UNIVERSAL .5MFD FOR RADIO NOISE INTERFERENCE

If F3s, YES!!

Where do I purchase this .5MFD capacitor and where is it connected?

The LEDs I used are from *******. There is a connector between the ballast and the plug that goes into the bulb that is reversible.

What I referred to was ….the SHAPE of the plug …………...Annnnnnnnd reversing the one you have will change the POLARITY ….. On an LED - this is likely to Prevent it from … LIGHTING at all …… good luck …. Mike hyea:

Installed on the F3s - YES!!

Installed on the F3s - YES!!

I'll take a shot in the Dark …. you installed the .5MFD capacitor …. If so please share where you got it and the cost …. Thanks …. Mikehyea:

The original comments centered around reversing the polarity of the power to the light. So no, you can't reverse them at the light bulb because of the shape of the plug, but in the T r i c l e d set I installed there is a connector between the ballast and bulb that can be reversed. I had to reverse it on one of the lights when it didn't turn on! But why they think it needs to be there I don't know.

Re-visit my post #3 …… I was able to reverse the OEM plug ( which just changed the polarity ) and this solved the problem …. Mike hyea:...…………...PS " the original comments centered around reversing the polarity " - question which original comments are you referring to ...Post #1 - #2 …. My orig. post addressed those...… your welcome ….. Mike hyea:

The value of the resister/and the wattage of the resister ???. The resister was installed inline on the positive wire coming out of the led before going into the bike.

The resister was installed in 2015 on the bike.

First......there seems to be a lot of folks with a similar problem who would benefit from a "fix".
So why convey that information in a PRIVATE MESSAGE to only one user ???

Second, a simple "resistor" is NOT usually a fix for any kind of radio interference problem. It never has been.
I suspect that what you got really should be called something else.

"Above" where exactly ?

I don't see it.

When at the Spyders on the Bayou I visited with Spyderpops and he was going to get in contact with his supplier of the fog lights and see what they recommend or think what the cure will be.
