Your LED headlights already work? Why not keep those until you find the solution you want?

There's a beam pattern image on that page. Of course that's from the manufacturer, but I don't see any reason why it would be much different since they aligned the LED elements similarly to how the halogen bulb makes light.

There's a lot of glare and no high beam function. I also think one of them is partially burned out. I noticed one headlight doesn't fill the whole reflector. I need to pull it out and check.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

This is pretty cool. The truck came with K02s :)

The top-rated tire for snow traction, along with off-road traction, is the BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2.
We still need to find a spare though. The one that's on there is too small, and it's got damage.

They are better than standard tires and have a good look now with the latest sidewall upgrade. They can be loud though. I ended swapping mine out for a tire I prefer more.

Both LEDs had burned out segments. They're in my electronics donor pile now.

The tires are a bit noisy, but it's nothing too bad. You feel every bump in the pavement though. It really doesn't bother me too much. This thing is pretty comfortable. :)

Unless you really need the sidewall strength of the KO2s I'd get something else.

Not false. As I already said I've been running LED headlights in non projector headlights for many years now. They are just brighter/whiter than halogens. I wouldn't run HID's in a non projector housing because of cut off issues, but LEDs are fine. I never get high-beamed/flashed so they are obviously not blinding oncoming drivers.

You would need 4x4 no matter the tire you have on wet grass.

I had Grabbers on my ML500. Hot garbage and didn't last for shit. K02's on my Ram 2500 and they never wore out. You can get 80k miles out of those tires. And never worry about getting stuck in much of anything. The guy I sold the truck to used it for snow plowing. He said the truck would just go through anything. Nothing could stop it. It was much better than his Chevy dump body at plowing snow.

There's a plow attachment for the H3. Maybe I should make some extra money this winter :lol:

Only if you want to spend every dime you make on recouping money from the plow/plow mount/and new front suspension components. :p
