Default Radio noise when auxilary lights are on

I recently added 2 sets of auxiliary lights. There's a lot of interference on the radio whenever I turn the lights on. They are wired directly to the battery through relays and a separate fuse block. A search on C.F. through Google didn't turn up any results. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Check their grounds as well as check/clean the engine--body, batt--engine, and the batt--body grounds

Strange, I do not have this issue on my 96 with a 20" LED bar ($120), aftermarket radio and subwoofer.
I did clean most grounds before installing, including 'radio noise suppression strap' at rear of block to firewall.
Light bar uses auxiliary power block with relay and is grounded to inner fender panel.
