This is exactly what I've been thinking about for last few days, just haven't pulled the trigger.

But the pods I was looking at are these: Amazon.com: Nilight 4 Inch LED Pod Lights Heated Lens with DRL 60W Square Super Spot Light 16AWG Wiring Harness Kit for Offroad Anti Freeze Function LED Work Lights for Truck UTV ATV SUV Jeep : Automotive

BTW, the Cybertruck.co brackets include the 12v converter.
I missed the included 12V converter -- thank you. You're probably already aware but the pods you are looking at are "Offroad" and may not be ideal for street use. I love the anti-icing feature on those though. I'm hoping having the foglights out of the headlight ledge will make the difference.

You are correct, those are the wrong ones. I was looking at similar ones that were low beam z pattern and heated but can’t find them at the moment.

These could work for mounting as well to the hood panels directly maybe:

How would the light bar on top do in the snow? I live in San Diego, but I'll drive it in Tahoe.

Put your thinking caps on !!! Yell out to Tesla, put a few IR leds in the fixture. That will heat the lens and nothing more then a design / function of the type of light wave ..Lot smarter people out there then me …

These guys make a clear heating film specifically for LED headlights.

Headlight warming film

Looks like it needs to be oem spec rather than an aftermarket overlay.

This snow blocking issue is also a concern of mine as we spend a lot of time in Vermont. Was thinking it’d be mostly just heavy wet snow blocking up Cybertruck as we’ve had this issue on all of our vehicles with LEDs.

Our Cayenne GTS shoots windshield washer fluid on headlights via a sprayer / actually works pretty well.
well you need to pass that link along to the Tesla engineer Team,,, I think all their cold weather testing was a PR stunt at most.
