Lights, Elec. Guros question

Wired 2- 54 watt led bar type lights to frt. of bike. Used a relay fused from battery. Not through ignition, lights, or etc. When i turn the lights on my f.m. radio reception weakens. Turn them off and the station strength increases. from what I can tell these pull around 5 amps ea. I figured that wouldn't be enough to affect anything. Also will this affect my alternator/ Here is the link for the lights. Any ideas? Thanks

The current draw is basically nothing to these, I run twin 100 watt driving lights.
What did you do for the ground on the lights? I run all accessory grounds back to the battery.

Also make sure your light wiring, particularly the power supply is not routed close and parallel to your antenna feeder cable.
