So the attachment is just giving me a 404 error, so I can't see what OP is talking about.

But from context, is it just ice on the headlights? You just scrape that off before you get going.

Strange? I haven't noticed this phenomenon here in Arizona either.
We do have things spontaneously combust on occasion though.......

We did have a snow apocalypse down here in Tucson. Almost 2 inches and it lasted until noon 🥶

In MN we sometimes get freezing rain and I've had this happen on other cars I've owned that didn't have LED headlights.

Imagine all the noise we'd be hearing on this forum if Mavericks didn't have LED lights. Now it's a "design flaw".

Could we all take the clickbait post titles down a notch? The only thing missing was a photoshopped exaggerated shocked expression like you see in YouTube thumbnails.

Not sure if you’ve tried, but I wouldn’t count on these headlights to stand up to much scraping of heavy ice - especially from the center part (non-Lariat running lights).

Please don't use a scraper on the $1k headlights, lol.

I feel like this is kinda dangerous to not be able to see in this weather, and other drivers not able to see me. Need some form of heat like the halogen bulbs produce to prevent this.

Design flaw???? I guess when it sinks when try to drive across water that’s a design flaw as well. Manufacturers can’t build every conceivable scenario into a vehicle, especially when it starts at around $20k.

Living in A Fla. I don't know anything about what is going on here.
Dude, it was 80 degrees at my house last week while my sister in MN was complaining about two feet of snow. I didn't lose sleep.

But I bet the headlights were still visible.

I did say there was no bad weather. Just glad we don't have snow like that. Yes from June to November it can get interesting.

Are you close to Wewa?
