How much heat does a 100W incandescent bulb throw? You'd probably need 500W just for a reasonable defroster. That's about 40 amps draw - OK for short bursts but you'd better have a 100A alternator for slow traffic (and that's just for defrost).

Put a couple of the elements from these cheapies together...
