Halogen vs LED lights - Snow/Ice build up
I bought some higher end LED lights to replace my Halogen's, what a difference. However, I did have to adjust the lights downward to get the proper level as not to blind other drivers. Too many people just drop them in and go when typically they do not have the same cut-offs of the OEM's.
That being said, the Halogen's really do warm up the fixtures, especially the fog lights. Even after being on for a couple minutes the fog lights get very hot to the touch.
My question is, for the people who drive in the snow and bad weather a lot, do the warmth of the Halogens prevent ice/snow build up as it helps melt anything that lands on the lens?
I know most newer vehicles all come with LED's so obviously the makers do not see this as an issue but curious if those running in the cold north have noticed a difference in bad weather?
