Ditch lights, Amber or white?

[MiamiC70]

Getting some ditch lights and after a LOT of research have narrowed it down to a pair of Baja Designs S2 Sport driving/combo lights on LP Adventure brackets. The S2 Pros are STUPID BRIGHT

so it’s definitely going to be the S2 sports as more than bright enough for me. The question is:

White

or

Amber

White. I have BD lights on my truck, love them. I run in dust and rain, If I want yellow for vision, I put on yellow glasses. Mine are slaved to my high beams, when I turn off the highs the LEDs shut off too. Mount them below the hood, if you don't they will light up the windshield and hood.

For ditch lights I would say clear, if you were mounting them lower on the bumper amber might be beneficial (rain/snow/dust/fog).

Thanks guys. I ordered white and will save the Amber for true fogs when I add the bull bar.

Clear and a set of yellow lens covers.

I have the white with the yellow covers. I would say the covers hold condensation and it reduces the amount of light output significantly if you don’t remove the covers and clear the condensation.

I agree with the rest of the guys. Go with the white and run covers when needed for foul weather.

Whites inbound

I know this is an old thread but if you want white light without the glare of a 6000K white light, using the Diode Dynamics SSC2 little pods you can order the yellow pods (4K emitter with yellow lenses = 3K yellow light) and swap out the lenses for clear for a warmer 4000K white light.

Just a bit of info for some of you. Colorado has a law against lights that shine down from under a vehicle. Go figure. I guess the ricers were going hog wild with the effects lights causing a distraction and got any light under the vehicle banned. Never heard of anybody getting a ticket or anything, but I ran across it in one of my browsing forays. They also have some rules about the roof lights.
