LED Headlight Icing
Ok guys. You that live in the snow and have LEDs what are you doing to keep the snow and ice from packing on your headlights?
I had to scrape the ice off my headlights twice between Jackpot, NV and Jerome, ID which is about a 60 mile stretch.

I only have 600 miles on my truck with OEM LEDs and thus far have not had to deal with this. Though I fully expect I will sooner than later as I live in Canada..... Interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions.

Happened to me on Christmas Eve 2020 when a storm hit while at church. The drive home was "interesting" as I kept saying that I could barely see the road! This was the first time in snow with the after-market LED headlights...not until I got home did I realize that they didn;t generate enough heat to melt the snow away...oh well, I still MUCH prefer them over the stock (crap) headlights that came on my 2019 F-250.

I usually do that anyway but good thought. Now to wait until the weather isn't -20deg Celsius so I can RainX and/or wax them. lol... I don't have a garage....

Same here. When it's blowing hard, snowing hard and below 20F I try to pull off every 30 miles or so to clean off the lights, wipers and rear license plate. Even halogen lights aren't warm enough.
