I would hate for this to happen to anybody else, so I will trade you my halogens for your LED's also
Its not that easy, I looked into it. You would have to buy a $350 conversion harness aswell. But I would also trade for them considering they sell for $900 a piece.

Well that is unfortunate... I would still trade haha. I really like the LED lights, but not for $900 a pop.
I will keep them haha ! The truck is almost all winter long in Florida anyway so not so bad. But for people who spend all winter in snow, it's a huge drawback.
We have the same issues on our CAT equipment that now arrives from factory with LED lighting. For heavy snow clearing applications, we've actually swapped back to halogens since they melt off the snow and ice.
Drove all last winter and now the start of this one and never had them ice up like that. Mind you its far colder here and the snow cant stick like that. I could see where wet falling snow and temps around freezing would have this happen easily. Definately a downside of LED. I have also noticed the tail lights could be an issue with sticking blowing snow as well. Something to consider when driving in these types of conditions, clean off headlights and taillights....
That sucks. Mine won't leave the garage when it snows so it won't be an issue for me but for others it will be. Can't believe the engineers didn't factor something like this in when they developed LED headlights.
I thought about that for winter driving when I am up north. I had thought about getting 2 12v flex heating strips. Running them around the outside edge so it didn't look 2 ugly since they are orange. Wiring them up the a aux switch. IDK if it would generate enough heat on the plastic to just keep it from sticking or on the opposite end of the spectrum get to hot and deform the plastic. Just an idea I was kicking around.
