just a guess but maybe you have a weak battery...when you turn the lights on it draws juice and maybe robs the radio of power to run it

Either that- or somebody has done some "custom wiring".

sounds like a grounding problem with custom wiring like 70c10 said. check to see what circuit that the radio may be spliced into.
