Ah, this is something I've wondered about. So, I gather there are such units? If so, any recommendations?
Actually I think your Vetta uses digitally coded signals. While this helps the unit descriminate and thus pull a signal from a lot of noise, it still doesn't make it imune to complete washout conditions where the signal is so obscured by broad spectrum interference noise.

Okay, I know what halogens are, but HID? I know what the initials stand for, but don't know if my LED light fits (but I doubt it).
You're correct. LEDs are not HIDs. HIDs work on an arc-lamp principle which is one reason they tend to emit a substantial amount of EMI. It is however likely that your LED units have some sort of internal logics (for power management probably) that may rely on oscillators that can also produce a fair amount of EMI.
