I installed a Rough Country bull bar with lights I hooked up to the AUX 1 switch and when I turn them on I get static on my FM radio stations. Any ideas?

Are you sure it is caused by the lights? I get poor FM reception quite often and I have no added accessories.

Well, if he didn't get it before.....
Probably need one of them thingies we used to use in the old days, connected to the antenna maybe? Someone will remember what they're called.

Check your ground or ground somewhere else to see if it helps. Some LEDs are worse than others.
Several threads about this in the lighting forum.

So they're kicking off something that's interfering....contact the company and see what they say.

Put these on the light wires. Will fix the issue. Leave the radio on and test them around the light harness. You’ll know when you find the right location. Mine was 2 of these on the harness of my right ditch light. Fixed the issue.

Are they LED. If so this is the issue. LED's send out a lot of electrical noise, check to see if your key fob works from the front when they are on.
Replace them with a Good LED light, check grounds, maybe a chock on the power wire (but I doubt that would work).
