No snow on the lakefront. Just rain and windy.

Btw are the LED lights that much brighter than the HID conversion bulbs?

Technically, Halogen lights (e.g., aircraft landing lights, spot lights, off-road flood lights) hold the leadership spot for absolute lumens output in the visible spectrum. But, that isn't the issue: headlights have to fall in line with DOT specs for safety, and in that role, LED technology meets/exceeds those limitations now. (I don't know 'bout U, but I've seen some of the LED headlights approaching me, and even when aimed properly - that still are almost too bright [even on LO beam] for me to see past to negotiate the road.)

LED technology AND automotive (headlight) applications are still on a very steep development curve, whereas HIDs are on the sidelines. It's too early to "put a stake in the ground" and declare a winner just yet (IMO).

I kept it simple and did the HID conversion. They are way better than stock headlights.

For the OEMs, LEDs are a godsend due to their stingy amp usage. When the industry is moving toward all electric vehicles, every watt saved is precious.

And low cost, especially when compared to HIDs.
