Real Jeeps are BUILT, not bought.Time to glue on some glass bowls over the headlights so the snow blows right past
There are clear plastics that you can boil water inside. I do not think we need 212 degree headlights.With glass, it's possible to heat it with wires either embedded in it or on the surface (like with the rest window defroster on many cars). I'm not so certain that plastic will be as conducive to that approach though. For one thing, plastic is not as good of a conductor of heat as glass.
Maybe another glass cover that for flush with the light opening in the grill to keep snow from accumulating would work? Maybe even have the capability to heat that?
You paid your $900 and took your chances, so it is on you. Meanwhile, those of us who were "too cheap to pay for LEDs" don't have snowballs on our headlights....fail is not on me or anybody else who got leds. Leds are an UPGRADE not cheap halogen lights for people to (sic) cheap to pay for leds.
No that's not accurate to say...its not really the LEDS, it's the deep dish design of the headlights of the wrangler.Sell them fast, before the market is saturated with OEM LED headlights.
Incoming this spring...a shit storm of OEM LED headlights for sale in snow prone areas.
If you live in snow prone areas, seriously sell them, get either better halogens, or HID projectors.
or wait until someone comes out with overpriced heated LEDS if you have more money than brains
ohh, this is not FCAs fault btw, nor will the NHST be issuing a recall of LED headlights because people that live in the snow didn't use their brain.
It's not really the LEDs that's the problem it's the deep dish design.You paid your $900 and took your chances, so it is on you. Meanwhile, those of us who were "too cheap to pay for LEDs" don't have snowballs on our headlights.
I was thinking about quoting all of your messages together in this response, but I'll leave it to this one because it unquestionably says the most about you. You bought the first model year of a new vehicle and expected perfection but you're insulting others for saving money on Halogen lights. Maybe it is a design flaw, but it's also your problem for having a) unrealistic expectations and b) for not thinking through the impact of high efficiency LEDs. Since you 'don't care about the costs' as you so claim, go out to a shop and have them add in heating elements around your bezels. Custom work seems just about right for someone with your bottomless pockets. People who didn't opt for LEDs are not cheap - they all just shelled out big money for a brand new car that is still 5 years behind on technology. For you to judge anyone on their lighting preference is ignorant. At least those people can see in the snow without getting out to clean their headlights every 15 minutes, I guess.Well that's great glad for you, however, for those of us who really are not all that concerned about cost it means nothing.
But, thank you
I gotta say, there's no need to be confrontational. The same thing happened to me as well. The lack of heat produced by LED lights is not something that would occur to most people purchasing the option. I think that if there is a gap that is as obvious you you are pointing out above, it would stand to reason that the manufacturer call it out...consider all the other warnings Jeep provides in their vehicles...you think that they think knowing the snow won't melt because I selected LED headlights is my fault...call it what it is...a design flaw that they never thought about.Summer tires on cars are an upgrade, but they still suck in the winter.
You picked the wrong option for your climate. You know LEDs don't get hot and it's pretty rare for an LED to come artificially heated unless it was otherwise stated. That's your fail not Jeep's.
Every option has it's downsides.
