Being in Texas you probably do not see much adverse snow/ice weather. There are a lot of good lights out there and each have points to consider.
I have been considering some KC DayLighters the halogen version so that here when the freezing stuff falls from the sky the heat of the halogen bulbs...
I actually love that Amtrak run from Sandusky to Chicago!! I know it is about the same drive time vs train ride time but not dealing with a vehicle in Chicago is worth it to me.
My next thought is I would be more concerned with the LED headlights glazing/icing over. Should the weather do that...
