Expert Reply:
This is a tell tale sign of a ground issue. I recommend you check that the new light assembly you just installed has a proper ground. In order to do this you would need to remove the light or ground wire and then sand down the mounting point with some sandpaper. You can then reattach with new hardware. If this does not fix your problem please let me know and I would be glad to offer further troubleshooting advice.
