Default Amber Leds worth it????

Been questioning this for awhile. I have a 50" and an 20" on the bumper and duallys on a pilar. Have amber filter for the duallys but don't help cause of the height. So my question is will amber Leds down low on bumper or fairlead make a difference? My area has had some foggy mornings lately and would like something to help. How much does amber really help?

LED's aren't great in fog- end of story. The amber filters don't honestly solve that. You're better off with a proper fog light.

Trying to get some input from others that lights for fog. So amber or white fog lights? Never had amber fogs and it's 50/50 online.

I actually have yellow in my fogs (on my F-150). It's an LED Conversion kit but with yellow filters over the lense. 3000 lumen, work great for me. Cuts through some of the fog, better then the stock lights.

PM me if you are looking for a set. I don't have them on my site, because it's an older style LED light that I don't want people using for HEADLIGHTS (only for fogs, reason being these don't produce a nice cut-off for headlights, and I had people buying these to have blueish headlights and we sell a higher quality LED kit).

But... here is what it looks like on my Ford:

KC highlights has a replacement fog light in yellow that I have been considering, they seem to be the only ones I can find that is yellow or Amber and in fog pattern. I have seen other Amber led but they are in flood pattern not fog which I believe is two different things.
