Question regarding the LED bulbs/Lariat hoursings. I've never used one personally, what happens in the snow? Do they create enough heat to melt the ice build up? I had some cheap LED headlights in my offroad XJ that just iced over, so I removed them and used silverstars w/ an upgraded harness, which ironically, also put out more light.

It's a matter of attitude. You catch more flys with honey, or something like that.
Flies are annoying. Also, my attitude is always a reflection of the attitude I'm given. Have a great night, Doug.

The attitude in question was not in response to anybody.

In case you forgot, here is the display of attitude...

Do I get flashed by oncoming drivers? It happens. But, no more than it does when I had cars with HIDs.

If someone doesn't know what to do when faced with brighter lights on oncoming traffic, they need to go back to driver's ed.
Who hurt you?

So... my observation that my drop in LED's that are aligned and aimed correctly, that gives the same spread and cut off as the factory halogens do not get me flashed any more often than when I had a car that had factory HID projectors is something that should not be put out there. Got it.

The fact that there is a basic solution that you are taught, in high school driver education, to do when faced with oncoming bright lights, also shouldn't be verbalized.

But, people coming on and saying you're an ass (to which the attitude was in response, if you bothered to read the thread) if you run LEDs is awesome and should not be responded to or questioned. We are to bow down and acknowledge the rightness of the sentiment and immediately comply. Got it.

I don't know what I'd do without y'all. I appreciate the education you have so graciously supplied to me. Thank you! I bow down to your superiority!

This thread needs to go. Too much butthurt.
If you're referring to me, I'm not butthurt. I'm just not going to sit down for people's bullying bs.

I'm referring to all the shit comments and backbiting here.
This is supposed to be a learning thread, not a lecture thread.

This reminds me of a story my dad told me...he knew a guy who hit someone head on because they wouldn't dim their high beams. Guess he showed them!

Thank you for being g considerate of others.

As a person who feeds my family by driving around at all hours of the night it's nice to see that some people still try to do right by others.

If the led fog bulbs aren't cutting it for you might I suggest going with a Baja Designs Squadron Sports or Pros in the driving/combo beam pattern. Even the pros will will be able to be aimed so as not to effect others in my experience. Diode Dynamics makes some good stuff as well I hear.

If you want I could try to find my Lariat factory LEDs fogs and throw them in a priority box for you.
Hey Doug - If you find those Lariat factory LEDs I would be interested. What would you want for them?

Nothing.

I don't do any cash apps or anything so taking payment would be a little difficult. I'm not using them and a priority box won't be too much.

I'll look for them this weekend and PM you if/when I find them.
