warning to those with led tail lights
applies mostly to longer drives:
with winter here and heavy snow fall/blizzards (depends on state) be aware that led tails don't get warm like regular bulb ones so going through snow it cakes onto the rear and makes them less visible or not visible at all (mostly at night). i drive a semi and almost plowed into a new caddy at night because i couldn't see their tails.
be safe out there and stop from time to time (at night or during a blizzard)to clear the snow off your tail lights.

I would try the suggestion I posted at the end. I would but I do not live in the snow areas.

good (?) thing on your side of the country is that the dot is using salt but here on the left coast...bunch of hippies...not so much because it attracts animals and would cause more bambie fatalities - better a family upside down by the road than a flat dear on the road.
the only thing i like about running on snowy roads is the cloud of snow and exhaust behind me - looks romantic
be safe! i'll survive anything but a max on my bumper.

Same goes for HID projectors. Seen enough of them this past weekend with almost no headlight output because it was covered with snow.
Then again, how many people do you see who just don't clean the car off at all?
A quick hole in the windshield to see out of and there off to the store.
Crazy, just crazy...

Irks me when people don't deal with that sort of problem. I can say, however, that a couple days ago when my headlights were totally iced over I did not bother to try and get the ice off. The projectors put out light just fine, I could be seen from a distance, and I wasn't trying to scrape or break ice off my $650 headlights We're talking about snow, though
