I just installed Hero tail lights and now I get noise from my speakers. Buzzing sound only on when lights turned on. Unplugged lights noise gone so definately lights. Didnt have noise with my stock lights. Any ideas? Already checked wires at harness. No pinched wires. My amp is not stock. Noise is annoying as #@!. Any help appreciated

No issues with my Hero tails and factory stereo. However I did try to hook up an amp/sub about 6 months ago (before replacing the tails) and could not get rid of the damn buzzing sound through the speakers. I tried a different amp, sub, cables, etc before finally giving up. I figured I would try again over the winter. Curious to see what you find out on yours, good luck!

Thinking about trimming the amp but didnt have hum before so what could be the difference now. Maybe something to do with the led lights.

make sure your grounds are very clean and that the connections are solid. if you have the lights grounded where other things/systems are also grounded you could try giving the lights their own ground location as well

Hmmm. I'm not sure but I didn't need to ground the tail lights but the amp is located just under the light so maybe relocate??
