?LEDs causing interference with VHF?

Hello. I just installed an LED tri-color and an LED anchor light. I say "installed" but really it was as easy as climbing up the mast and changing a lightbulb. Unfortunately, now whenever I have the light on (either one) I only hear static on all stations on my VHF, no matter what I do with the squelch. Its no good because its important that I have the tri-color and the VHF working properly at the same time for night sailing. Any suggestions as to what is causing this?
Sincerely,
Teresa
