LEDs in heavy snowfall

[lintjerk]

I just drove my new SX in the snow at night for the first time last night, and felt like I was driving through a solid white wall. It was pretty heavy snow, but I’ve never had it where I was struggling to see the road that much because of my headlights hitting the snow. Is this just winter driving with the LED headlights, or do mine need adjusted?

Probably depends on the size of the snow flakes and how much ambient street light there is.

I’ve driven mainly in the city during snowfall in my area, and haven’t had any issues seeing the road ahead.

I think I recall when driving on backroads though with dimly lit streets, it is possible to experience what you are describing.

It’s snow… honestly, driving in heavy snow isn’t going to magically make any headlights view better.

I was more asking do the headlights make heavy snow seem worse.

I think a warmer temperature light output would make it it a little easier.
