Amber lights, style or functional?

oh man. the 5N to 405S transition (carpool ramp/turn area) with those tall ass LED lights they put up there. cant see shit when its foggy in that pocket.

 

its a flex! showing people you paid $10 more for the amber lens. haha.

I've been using amber fogs for every car I usually get.
when we get "rain" in LA, the amber lights do help light up the lane markers.
usually get a glare in the water when its just my headlights.
it does cut the fog too. living by the beach, we get some thick fog rolling in sometimes and the amber does light up the road a lot better than the headlights.

 

Amber daylght driving lights plus amber fog lights can be useful during some night blizzard and drifting snow conditions.

 

Also, white light messes with your low light/night vision. Any blue eyed driver understands this intuitively, but it's important even with your own lighting and not just oncoming traffic. Red light is best for that, although you can't project red light in front of your vehicle and see anything; I suspect yellow being close to red is much less harsh on the eyes, not to mention water reflectivity in fog.

 

I disagree, personally, not generally. I have issues with depth perception, especially the older I get. Amber and yellow lights distort depth for me. It feels as if it takes longer for my brain to interpret what it is seeing? White may not be as effective as it tries to pitch forward through moisture of varying droplet size, but for me, white is a better experience (especially LED) over yellow/amber.
