They obviously do a better job than the owners of leds have said.

We get a lot of wet sloppy snow here and my stock lights clear. I would say the truck light and j w would not stand a chance.

I've had the jw speakers installed for a month and any heavy accumulation of snow just packs onto the headlights and you have to be mindful to clear it off before driving, or you won't have much light at all. That's the only negative. The flicker I fixed by purchasing a harness that draws the power straight from battery, I put harness on when I installed lights.

Yep. A huge issue for me when we have rain/snow mixed for hrs. I do not have to clear my stock lights off at all. They heat up enough to clear the wet slop that falls here.

Piaa bulbs cheap? Not where I live. 120 bucks a pair. I got my Phillips extra power for half that.
