Looking for better lighting for severe weather

It might also help to use good washer fluid. Prestone Deicer has slightly more ice melting power than the blue (-20F) stuff, but it's a slight improvement. If you live in an extremely cold place you might be able to buy even better fluid.

Just remember that regardless of what type of lighting you add or change to, keep the lighting down on the road for bad weather driving.

Lighting up heavy snowfall will have the same effect as you high beams in fog.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

It's looking like a retrofit may be the best option along with adding an HID kit to the fogs. Leaning towards the Morimoto D2S kit from TRS , but still reading around trying to get a good understanding of the process and differences in kits.

LED Lights Icing Up

I know this is an old thread, but with winter coming up I am thinking about getting a new lighting set up for chasing powder.

Do you all have issues with ice building up on LEDs or LED light bars?

Best fog/snow lamps I have ever had.

I know they are not the fotm LED's but they work great and they dont ice up with the halogen heat.

Either way you want a dedicated "fog" pattern beam, low and wide with a good cut off. Mount them as low as possible. I had 4 of these mounted low on my old Audi 4000k quattro while working ski patrol for a couple of winters, freaking awesome lights.

Fwiw I decided to do a headlight retrofit and stick 3000k hids in the fog lights. Everything is on the way. I'll post pics after its complete.
