Hazzard of LED headlights, they don't get warm like the old Halogens...so they freeze up.

Yep, and a recessed design doesn't help. Much less chance when headlights were flush.....

The funny thing is the led lights do generate heat, but frim the rear instead of the bulb. This problem is becoming common enough someone is going either engineer a headlight housing to take advantage of that or port air back from the cabin heater to the headlights (which would be more complicated and less effective).

Technology already exists so kind of surprising you don't get said technology on newer high end vehicles. I'm sure the lenses need to be made out of glass so probably would drastically increase the cost of mass producing them for millions of vehicles compared to cheap plastic lenses...
