Just saw on tv consumer reports about poor night vision with SUV headlights and was reminded of a problem I have that may affect other vehicles headlights. I have a 2016 Hyundai Sonata hybrid. I was driving home at night this last winter during a very heavy wet snowstorm when I noticed my headlights seem to be getting dimmer and dimmer. At first I thought the snow storm was just getting worse but it was way too unsafe to stop and check them so I just drove slower and slower. When I got home in my garage, I noticed than there was at least a couple of inches of snow built up over my headlights severely limiting how much light was passing through them. I also noticed that the headlights were also burning way to cool to melt off the snow as our other vehicles had. So are most of the newer headlights burning cooler or is this just a freak problem I had?
