09 bagger -  changed out the stock light to a  plug & play type  H-4  bulb. It has the cooling fan motor on end of bulb. FM stations are now  just a few and  along with the buzzing on AM . Radio is picking up the motor buzz from fan , thinking maybe  some tin foil up around the radio  as a shield . Or what's a better  way ?  Thanks ,

Most people here just won't tell you that you bought a piece of junk.  LED conversion bulbs are a bad idea, and if they need a fan, they're a poor execution of a bad idea.  Your best bet is to eat the cost of your mistake and buy an actual LED headlight.  Even some of those cause interference because they're cheap crap - just make sure you can return it if you have problems.  You get what you pay for still applies.
