[QUOTE="Deleted member 12951, post: 1622361"] Depends on how you use your lights and using only the off-road lights, well for off-road. I have a mixture of white and amber. I don’t have any SAE/DOT, so mine are only when off-roading. The best scenario is use ambers when dusty or if SAE when foggy. White light will reflect off dust or fog. Amber cuts through it. I either run all white when its clear and flip white off and turn amber on when it gets dusty. During the day, I tend to run just the ambers as it still can be seen very well in the daylight but not as blinding as white. So have your AUX switches set so you have the ability to run one of the other. I did try amber ends on a Baja Design bar but it was a waste because I couldn’t control the colors individually so get the Dual Control one. I have XL80’s on the hood and amber covers to add amber when needed depending on the conditions. Then I have some amber squadrons in the bumper. My bar and LP6’s are all white. When dusty, your lights will not go as far anyways regardless if amber so the XL80’s and Squadrons will provide enough light to let me still see what I need. Is this is for pavement only, then I would just have equal amounts of ambers SAE on separate switches than SAE whites. I would not mix one light with both colors, the white drowns out the amber.
