Contact Rigid. Ask them what the remedy is.

It's not the cables, it's the lights themselves. cheaper aftermarket HID's do it real bad with cheapo transformers inline. Rigid should be about the best you can buy. On motorcycles, we all started mounting HID lights on crash bars when they first came out and man, high distant FM stations and almost all AM stations would disappear.

If it was power noise you would get a hum in the speakers, in this case the ignition of the lights breaks up radio waves.

If you want to test this get another car battery close enough you can power the lights from it. Take the power away from your truck and use an external battery, you will still get noise in higher FM station and probably all AM's.
