If you're sure the noise is due to the light (which you seem that you are) then all the plugs and wires aren't gonna help squat..

I installed a cb in a 05 Ford diesel pickup about a year ago.. I got ALOT of interference when the truck was running.. I had a radio shop do a tweek and tune of the radio, and also installed a filter of some sort (would have to dig and see if I could find the receipt that detailed exactly what it was called) and although there is still some interference, there is far less now (before the work you'd have to run with the squelch turned nearly all the way "up", now, 1/8 to 1/4 turn will eliminate all my "running noise".

Since a CB uses am frequency also, I'd go to a reputable CB radio place and explain the scenario, and ask if they could help your situation..

Years ago, I was also told to hook a wire to the "box" of the cb, and run to a good ground.. That also helped with the interference in that case.

Good Luck,

Brad (former CB radio enthusiast)
