What are the most popular uses for the aux switches?

I believe they are most frequently used for external lights (fog lights, rear facing lights, etc..). That said, it created an issue that I am not sure how to fix. When I use the switches to turn on my fog lights, my radio reception is significantly reduced. Stations very close to me still come in crystal clear, but more remote stations will have static. If I turn the fog lights off, the more distant stations are then crystal clear.

How does it effect satellite radio?

I don't have that anymore, but I believe they have a "free" station with advertising for satellite radio that I could test against. The fog lights are creating some kind of interference, but I am not sure how to fix the issue. The location where the fog light wires tie into the switch wires is close to the antenna, so that might be the culprit, but I would think others would also be experiencding the same problem if that was the issue.

Lights. Lights. And more lights.

I have lights hooked up to 5 of the 6 available.

I have 1 FM station that gets static from the fogs...the rest work fine.
