When a snow event happens, especially wet snow the factory LED headlights and fog lights get completely covered in snow and are useless. They produce no heat to melt the snow. This is dangerous at night.

led headlights are not hot enough to keep snow melted off headlights. Jeep design has headlights in a recessed hole, so the snow sticks to headlights and does not blow off. The light is covered in snow and reduces visibility by 90%. This has been extremely dangerous as I have had to stop every mile to 2 miles to clean off manually in order to see. Why is this not a recall" This seems far more dangerous than many other recalls that I have seen. What can be done about this"

I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with the LED lighting package. I live in the mountains of Colorado and my first heavy wet snowstorm I drove home in at night on my dangerous windy tight canyon road home the headlights as well as the factory fog lights got completely covered in snow and ice to the point were I had to pull over about 10 times on my 10 mile drive home to clear the lights off as they got so covered that the light was completely gone to the point of not being able to see anything...not the reflectors on the side of the road or anything at all. I've never seen anything like it. Even though you can see dim light through the snow and ice the actual light emitted in this state is unusable. I risked getting hit every time I had to stop in the middle of the road (no shoulders just a cliff to the river below and cliff walls on the other side) to clear the lights off to get another straightaway down the road. This was terrifying and I think Jeep and Stelantis should recall these lights and replace them with Heated units like cars in Europe are mandated to have. This is such a safety issue and my solution will be to install some aftermarket old school halogens but this should still be addressed because somebody could get killed in their first bad snowstorm with these lights. They work fantastic in most conditions but when in a bad snowstorm these lights are totally useless and it is not safe to stop in the middle of the road when no shoulder exists to clear these lights over and over. Please address this and hopefully other people have filed complaints over this as well, I can't believe I'm the only one and the Jeep forums are full of threads about this! Thanks for any help on this. Please let me know if you need more info.

Driving in weather from -4C to 0C with medium snow coming down. Normally not a problem at all. Was with a friend in a ram 1500 2019. We both had stock LED headlights. Within approximately 5-10 minutes the snow flakes directly Infront of the car but above the hood height got brighter and brighter even though my High beams were off. My headlights also lacked any beam distance at all. I was forced to reduce speed to 10 miles per hour unless other cars headlight were illuminating the area Infront of my car. My friend was still able to go 40mph safely and comfortably. Traffic was passing me constantly on the snowy road due to my inability to go a reasonable speed and having nowhere safe to stop. Upon stopping I found a caked layer of snow on both headlights complete diffusing their beam into every direction including vertically up into the snowflakes that had been so disruptive to my ability to see. On the remainder of the drive home I had to stop Every 15 minutes (5 times) to clear the snow from the lenses. The diffusion of the beam also meant that while my beams were less bright, they were always in the eyes of oncoming traffic and I would regularly get flashed with high beams to let me know.
