Seriously, this looks like a great upgrade.


I know we won't be driving in the snow, but since LEDs don't produce much heat, the lens could get coated with ice. We've had this discussion on a snowplow forum and the big downside is having to clear them off as you're plowing.
Interestingly, LEDs and even HIDs with higher color temp (more white and bluish as opposed to halogen which are yellowish) are less effective in rain (more reflection off the road), snow and fog (light bounces back as opposed to penetrating).
