Fog lights: Amber or Clear?

[TX-Hans]

What is the better choice if adding SAE fog lights to the modular bumper? Amber? Clear?

Planning to replace the dash headlight switch with the one that has the foglight button and connecting the fogs to the existing fog wire harness.

You can get 2-3 lights in the holes of the modular bumper. I got an amber and a white SAE along with an additional white trail light. In the end it depends on what you need the lights for. Some well designed pre-wired kits can be found here:

Amber cuts through the fine particulates better and creates less glare. Have been the std in Europe for a long time.

Is that the Baja Designs Fog Pocket Kit with bezel? If so, how do you like it? I'm leaning heavily toward that product.

Did you get them through 4x4 truck leds or another source?

I have these too. Just installed so haven’t tested them at night. Click the link in my signature to check them out.

I opted for amber as I learned that they perform better in low visibility - didn’t know that before.

I would think that amber would be less reflective for fog and snow, cut through it better.

Apparently blue works well for snow, I guess you'd have to find a blue snap on cover to go over a white light for that though.

Baja Designs sells clear lens you can swap out.

My experience is that amber provides the contrast that is needed in fog/snow conditions...

They were out of the one with the upfitter wiring pack built in but had the wiring harness kits for them separately that could be sold with the kit and worked great for tying them into the upfitter switches in the bronco.

I prefer amber for where I live now, there is fog here. When I was in AZ I always did clear.

As a spot white will seem brighter. But in inclimate weather amber is better creating less glare and better penetration. So many get amber fogs and white spots/trail lights
