What are you guys using to keep the snow from building up on your LED headlights ?

Don't think there's much you can do. I always give mine a spray of ceramic/graphene after every wash but snow and ice still build up during drives. If it seems like it's becoming a visibility issue, I just get out and give them a wipe off.

There is a lil guy that use to work in refrigerators who turned the light on and off when you open the door. He and/or his cousins were hired out by Ford to squirt the front ford emblem camera every time you squirt your windows.
Had a lil talk with him and negotiated a reasonable small fee to jump out of the grill during snow and keep the headlights clean. Off season, he just does the camera. The power of the buck. :);)

I drive in the snow frequency and have not had any issue on my LED projector headlights. Are you seeing abnormal buildup compared to any other vehicle you have owned?

All my vehicles for the past ~10 years have been equipped with LED headlights. LED lights do not generate as much heat as a xenon or halogen for example however I have never found it to be an issue or a safety concern on the f150 in comparison to other vehicles with LED main headlights.

Same. I have them on my 18 Sierra as well and never had an issue with snow buildup on that truck either

Never had this issue in the winter. Now winter road grime is a different story that LED and halogen both have issues.

Water or something like Invisible Glass and a towel is the only thing that helps this.
