    Wouldn’t it be better to just get new raptor lights so your useful ditch lights stay the correct color?

    Generally speaking, what people call "Raptor lights" are an appearance item. (Unless your vehicle is over a certain width - as the Raptor is.) Ditch lights are a functional item. Wouldn't you want a functional item to work as well as possible as opposed to just looking cool?

    As for what color (yellow, amber, etc.) actually works and why, here's an interesting read:

    I dont think that there is a huge difference in lighting performance between amber and yellow. I just like the amber cause my 4runner will look weird with white amber and yellow lights. Yes caring about aesthetics is ok.

    Rigid used to sell amber led pods before all manufacturers went the selective yellow route.
    Here’s my amber SRM pods from an old Tacoma.
