A downside to LED rear lights
« on: 14 January 2015, 08:55 »
They don't get warm, so don't melt the frozen snow off them.

I didn't want to risk scratching them by scraping or rubbing, so ended up having to go back in the house for a jug of water.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

That must have been a great hardship, having to schlep all they way back indoors.  At least you'll be prepared next time.

The trials of modern life eh  :rolleyes:

Good point, never thought of that before. However, I do park rear-ended right up close to the house so luckily my baby's backside is never frozen! The front however..
