Does anyone know if the LED headlight units get warm enough to melt snow/ice from the lens ?
I don't think anyone has taken them to the arctic yet

Steve, I think the answer to that is definitely no. There have been quite a few threads in the past saying exactly that, the LEDs run so cool that they do not melt snow as well as standard Halogens which run much warmer.
If you want to still install them before your arctic expedition, take a towel to wipe them clear regularly Thumbs Up The dates are getting close now, yes?
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I should be able to answer that (minus 10 recently with heavy snow) but I didn't look, probably because I didn't notice ice and snow being a problem. Just a wipe before setting off...

It is obvious when the LEDs get dirty though - unlike the old ones (which never really looked as though they were switched on). Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...
