I’ve done that, and it’s better, mostly because the housings are better. Trucklite or JW Speaker is the way to go. That was the first money I spent on my current Jeep.

My first money was the engine skid, but I do a LOT of night time back road driving and realized very quickly that a) the jk lights were awful and b) they were of a color range that led to massive eye fatigue for me, which leads to drowsiness, not a good mix in the woods, so the JW's were second and worth every penny.
I have found that in normal snow mine stay clear, too cold to melt the snow, but wet snow layers over them, but wipes (hehe) off easily enough. But they are bright enough that they still work well enough. And my stock ones froze over multiple time last year, sounheated led is proving no worse than stock in those situations.
