Description of the problem	I purchased this vehicle new in august of 2017. The vehicle is the wrangler unlimited (4 door) sahara package. This package includes led headlights. On december 16th i drove the vehicle through falling snow at night. I was on a highway in a remote area traveling with traffic at reduced speeds, approximately 20 mph. After approximately 30 minutes i noticed my visibility diminishing. The windshield was clear of snow. However, objects in front of me were becoming harder to see. I turned the lights on and off to see if it made a difference. It did not. I felt i could safely follow the vehicle in front of me until i could find a safe area to pull over. We were approaching a small city with street lights which made traveling safer. I pulled off an exit to assess the headlight issue. Both headlights were covered in snow. Since the jeeps lights are recesses a bit, the snow filled the pockets completely. This is the first time driving (since 1984) that i had to clear snow from the headlights while driving. I live in northern new england so snow in the winter is a common event. What i deduced was that the led lights were not generating any heat. This was the likely reason for the snow build up. This flaw is exceptionally dangerous. When i needed the lights to work their best, they failed. Cold weather and darkness are prevalent this time of year. It seems i can anticipate many instances of driving as my lights become less and less useful and there's an increase in the danger associated with driving. I find this completely unacceptable. This situation was foreseeable and preventable. I have since learned that aftermarket heated led lights are available for this vehicle. So, this is a known issue with the jeep. I feel this vehicle should not have been sold with led headlights that perform as these did. The jeep is advertised as a winter vehicle.
