Personally, I've found that upgrading the fogs to Diode Dynamics SS3 Pros solved the issue for me, they don't ice over and when it snows bad and I just turn them on as a backup to the mains.

Philips E-XtremeVision H11 bulbs. I think Philips has remarketed their bulb line and call it something else now. It is one step down from their top of the line Halogens as I wanted more balance of better bulb life.

They are step above the factory Sylvania bulbs that come OEM. I have had poor life expectancy using Sylvania higher end halogens and just stick with the Phillips line of halogen bulbs now.

100% agree with this.Learned this from trial and error.The JW speakers made the rain look like white dots which bugged out my eyes after a while.Cibies in the TJ were the bomb,not available for the JTs or JLs.

What is this snow you speak of?

These should do the trick and keep your lights snow free. https://www.oraclelights.com/collec...for-jeep-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt-heated-lens

How do the lighting specs compare to the stock LED’s?

Good to know. I was actually looking hard at the JW speaker lights. I should have prefaced my post that I have LED’s.

It’s a direct result of climate change.

Great idea B-roc, or even put another pump in windshield tank , hook to an aux switch and bingo! Come on guys just do it!….Jack

That’s a clever idea. A few tees and tubing. Could probably use landscape drip tubing. Do you know if the fluid is heated?

Now you tell me. It wasn’t even something that I thought about. Coming from a 2002 7.3l, the led range appears to be from another planet.

Maybe a large piece of clear Lamin-X to go over each light and keep snow from accumulating in the cavity?

Yeah I’d think the snow would more easily stick to the ppf.

If you have a front bumper with a hoop, bull bar, grill bar, whatever you want to call it,
you can get DOT approved driving lights and mount to that bar.
Check your local laws, some don't let you run more than one set of driving lights at a time.

In other words, turn off the Jeep headlights when the aux driving lights are on.
Same thing plow drivers are supposed to do.

That’s a good idea. I’m only a month into ownership and trying to get over just cresting 1,000 miles. Not ready to start drilling and cutting just yet. It’s an extended honeymoon.

Welcome to LED headlight in a JEEP Wrangler/Gladiator design....................


To the OP -
There's at least a half dozen threads on this very topic with various solutions, and various silly nonsense - you be the judge..

No, nothing helps. I've tried RainX, and all sorts of other "anti-icing" stuff, various glass and plastic treatments. In some cases, there's just nothing works.
It's a funnel, there's no place for it to slide off to.

Yeah. I’ve gone through the prior posts but didn’t find a definitive low cost non-invasive solution. I’m going to try the Dupont Teflon Snow and Ice shtuff. Also purchased some Ceramic coating spray. We’ll see what happens. I’ve thought about extending the lights forward so they’d be more proud of the rear bezel but haven’t looked further to see if that’s even an option. The post about diverting washer fluid seems to be a more realistic/solid solution.

It's worth a try, little to lose but some time and a couple of bucks.

Good question. Featuring advanced LED projection with 5,200 Lumens of high-quality illumination, the heated Jeep headlight offers enhanced driver visibility in all weather conditions. The cutoff is clearly defined with little to no glare to blind on-coming traffic. The fill is more complete when compared to OEM.

700 bucks they need to do a lot more than light the road " for my needs "..
