Anyone have this issue? I recently installed them and notice a significant amount more interference with the lights on.

Never had the problem, but if I did I'd try clamping some ferrites around all the relevant cables. They're pretty cheap and easy to try.

I have MTEC V2 angel eyes. I will try when I return from business trip. I can check:
radio AM
radio FM
radio WX (do we still have that?)
CD single
CD iPod (BMW)

I do not have CD changer or radio SAT.
