Yep, at first they tried to deny the problem but finally fessed up. The molecules in the filter are very sensitive to UV rays and in the snow there is so much reflection the element turns dark purple. In the cold and I am talking 10 degrees F. the purple will not fade. I could not find a factory light out here in Willmar MN. I got a penlight and a hose clamp and some black tape. We will see how she goes tonight.
