    Not enough power/too inefficient. Thinking about this, closest thing to a 12V infrared lamp would be an aftermarket halogen light ~55W. Just stick it behind the bumper and point at the radar exit area. Will heat it.

    You would need a thermocouple. Nothing you couldn't do in an hour with a raspberry pi.
