LED'S run too cold!

[Ntegtmeyer]

Very true, it’s not the LEDs fault. Had a 15 JK and had the same problem happen to me occasionally when running the stock halogens. I’m sure someone out there makes some type of shield to help seal off the recessed area by the headlights.

That is a great idea and maybe a heated shield would be a nice option.

After looking at heated LEDs, (I can't replace lights I paid 1k for) and other ideas. I am testing out a new setup Sat. I will be installing headlight washer sprayers that will feed from the rear washer line. Fingers crossed it helps.

It likely won't help unless the washer fluid is heated. It will add more ice, just like spraying windshield washer on a cold windshield.

Think so even with -35 fluid?

I usually use the ice melt fluid so I don't think it will hurt. Guess we wait and see. I still have to find the best location, I ordered 90* and straight sprayers until I pull off the grill to see what will fit. At $17 total its worth a test.

Honestly, anyone who's driven in snow AND at night with factory leds know how hazardous it is, dangerous if I may.

And those saying just pull over and wipe off are funny to say the least. Pulling over on a highway with huge plows is just not an option nor is it if there is little street to pull over on(snow banks).
It's dangerous to get out.

After clearing your lights you about 2-5mins before you loose 80% illumination.

Being recessed has little to do w it, just look at how much your grill and such gets with snow.

Jeep needs to recall and/or add warmers as a recall.

Even poses hazard as other driver cant see you at night.

This is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen.

This is exactly what I did.

Reviews on the KC mounting brackets seen really positive and they are less than Mopar's.

I actually have the Mopar brackets mounted on the Mopar winch guard. (grill guard)
I will say the Mopar brackets are solid and tight.

The problem is that they are recessed . Snow simply collects in there. Not a huge deal.

This must be your first winter with the leds

I lived in Montana for 62 years. The brighter the light, the worse you can see in falling snow. I've had to drive many miles with my parks on because low beam was too bright. Fogs are OK to a point, but even they can be too bright. Proven fact that LEDs save energy in your house, mostly because they are just a light source, not a heat source as well. All LEDs are just plain lower temp lights. So wet snow will pack in there and make vision go progressively worse. All you can do is stop and clean them. Or do what i did 4 years ago and winter in Arizona. Haven't had a snow problem yet.

I always keep this in my jeep and it is very handy

I keep some too. Way easier than trying to use a snow scraper or brush. And you don't scratch your lens
