LED Headlights & snow

[futzin']

I’m a mechanical designer I have some ideas.

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised...

This company appears to have an LED headlight heating element similar to rear window defrosters in the works. https://plannedproducts.com/products-services/

Hard to use at 70 mph.

That's why you have kids

I’m not sure what planet you rest your head at.

a non-nutritive cereal varnish. It's semi-permiable. It's not osmotic. What it does is it coats and seals.

You need to watch it, at least once.

Vacation, and Christmas Vacation: yes
Vegas Vacation: probably, especially if you've been to Vegas
European Vacation: can skip that one!

Hard to use at 70 mph.

Also hard to use at 0 mph and cold and wet.

Perhaps it depends whether illumination is important in ones life. Or the lives of others.

Waiting for an actual JL/JT specific one to come out as there are none yet. Don't want a bracket to fit the lights in.

So you bought something that coast $1,000 without reseching it and then blame the company? I don’t think real life works like that.

Some Jeep things are not the best all the time. No matter what. I bought one with the LED package because I can see better with LEDs. My aftermarket LEDs I put in my JKU never built up snow, so I didn't think about it actually. It wasn't snowing when I bought it and test drove it. I'm not personally worried too much as we don't get much snow in my part of Virginia. I do understand peoples frustration with headlights being rendered useless in the snow. Especially when we have to deal with govt mandated safety features that do nothing but annoy people. And auto start/stop sucks and is useless.

Or they won't get the led option.

I had a JL with halogen headlights and they really sucked. I would choose the LED package again because I can see so much better unless it's snowing. If I lived in a high snow area, I would put some heaters on them I think.
