How are they wired in to the van? Sounds like the radio is losing power connection completely, would have thought this would be a fuse blown.

Hi thanks for the reply. No fuse blown. Its just tearing on radio when i turn them on. A petson said to me that capacitors need to b added to balance the elactrics. Dont know if this is true

Where did you get the light bar? If it's a good quality one from a reliable provider I'd be getting onto them to see if they can resolve the issue. If it's a cheap one from a Chinese website then it's most likely crap.
