Ran into a similar issue when I replaced the incandescent lamps in my travel trailer lights with LED's. My weather radio was essentially useless. I figured it out by process of elimination because the radio worked fine during the day but was junk after dark when I had lights on. Happened to walk out of the trailer when the radio was on and the interference went away when I turned off the light!
Yeah and that shows you how severe the issue really is with those lights. The fact that you were knocking out FM weather stations high up at 162 MHz is pretty bad. Glad you found out what was happening.
