LEDs give off very little heat. If you live in an area with lots of snow and freezing rain this can be a problem because LED tail lights or head lights will not melt the ice.

LED does not generate much heat. It is the resistors that give out lots of heat. In order to avoid error code, the whole LED bulb has to consume the equivalent of 5W power, same as the original incandescent bulb. And most of the wattage is used up by the resistors which generate a lot of heat. LEDs that are used in the interior do not need to contain resistors as there is no error code for interior lights.
