Since I cannot see any possible way for the lights to actually emit radio waves that would interfere with the radio reception, I'd say the interference is electrical - in which case, look sick or not, its probably best to take them out if there is no fix.

PS I've never noticed it with my AEs, but I'll check now (even though I think I actually have R-Dash).

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.
I checked. No interference. I have MTEC V2 angel eyes. I'm pre-LCI, so MTEC lights up both inner and outer rings. I also have MTEC rear license LEDs.

I also experience a little bit of interference.
One of my favorite FM radio stations peters out once I turn on the lights.
And my FM transmitter produces a light hiss too, but you get used to it.
The lights are worth it though
