Watch out for fog and rain too. It happens then as well if its thick/heavy enough.

I recently installed my JWs and soon after found out about the snow issue. Just as you said, just lights up the snow in front if your face, can't see shit. I'm just gonna install some PIAA fog lights and just run those in the crappy weather instead of headlights.

Gotta love marketing and people who live their lives in places with highways with street lights. Have no idea about how lights really work.

Never had not one problem with my Truck-Lites, rain, fog, or SNOW.
Never.

Ditto with my Truck-lites and I live in snow country and have to drive in the heavy snow at night a bunch.

Hey,
I did my HID projector retrofit last year and have had no problems whatsoever. I live in Canada and we get all types of conditions, SNOW, rain, hail, sleet, freezing rain etc. Maybe something for you guys to check into here are a few threads and a few older pictures of my lights.

same setup I have:
