There is one JK jeep in town, he has the truck lites> I asked how they are doing and he said ok could be better. We started to talk about how his T/L seemed to keep snow off. We came to the conclusion that the shape of the JK headlights is what is helping. His lights are the round convex shape and the wind helps push the snow off. But the Cherokee has a sunk in square headlight bucket, the wind cant help push the snow off the lights.
JK headlights are convex
The Cherokee kinda has concave headlights no where for the wind/snow to go. Plus the no heat output doesn't help.

I can also attest to how awesome these lights are. I bought a set about a year ago and have always loved them as my favorite mod.
They throw the light where it needs to be and makes night driving way more fun. I've had good experience with them in all weather. The way they light up road signs is another great thing.
They were totally worth the money for me because of how they perform.

BTW, I just picked up a set from a private party, for a decent price...once I get them and get them installed I will post my results on use. Might be a while as I'm installing a stroker motor ATM, but I'll post results as soon as I can...
