OK here's a question for those of you who live in the snowy wastes of SE England and have been driving in blizzards......................... have you found that when it is snowing you get a build up of snow on your headlamp lenses that doesn't clear. When driving in the snow in the past I have noticed this at night and even when the lights are on there isn't enough heat from the lamps to melt the snow. Using the headlamp washers doesn't help even when there is quite a strong mix of screen cleaner in the washer bottle. Maybe the FFRR P38A lens wipers instead of high pressure washers is a better means of clearing snow off the lenses or heated lamp lenses!. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

It's a bit of a pain having to stop every couple of miles and get out and get the Gucci boatshoes wet, just to clean the headlamp lenses to be able to see anything Rolling with laughter
I haven't tried it yet, but I wonder if coating the lenses with Clearex would help? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've pinned this down a bit. When I first put the headlights on everything is fine. The problem occurs if I use the full beam, for some reason the OS headlight stays on full beam, or sticks. A trip to a dealer I think. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
