But, despite of this I will surely order LEDs on my next car too. In all other conditions adaptive LED headlights are the best I have had on a car. And I can tell you we do have some days of heavy snowing in nothern Norway...

That's interesting. Do you get flashed for dazzling oncoming traffic or does the technology work really well?

I'm pretty sure that, like all salesmen, he'll point out the benefits and minimize the downsides. But he might provide some additional data points.

That said, I live in the Seattle, WA, USA area. We don't get much snow here. So it's probably not a big issue anyway.

No problem with oncoming traffic, it works really well. I have not tried Audi's LEDs but they have the possibility to reduce the number of LED diodes emitting light in snow/fog to minimize the glare problem. I think the LEDs on my car is to bright in heavy snow, almost need sunglasses...
