    Looking for some guidance with lights. I own a 21 pro. I’m looking to order my bumper soon and would like some lighting advice. My plan was to use the factory fogs in the new bumper then get some new ones up top. What are the pros and cons of amber lights vs leds?

    Amber is just a color. Are you asking halogen vs. led? Is this for the street or offroad?

    I would probably turn them on as high beams on back roads and off road. I know that amber is just the colored ones but do they provide some sort of better lighting than led

    Amber light diffuses much better in bad conditions, thus being able to see farther into things such as fog, snow storms, sand storms, etc.

    White light has the tendency to reflect off heavy fog, snow storms, etc causing a "blinding haze" effect and suffocates much of the light effectively reducing how well you can see into those things.

    Most people don't care for either explanation and just go for the aesthetics lol.

    Take your fog relay ground out the left side bend out terminal, then put a jumper on the bend terminal (to ground out fogs) run to headlight very top terminal relay. You’ll have high beams and fogs. I have a spare fog relay for inspection. Drive nights and deer everywhere. Running ditch side shooters hidden 30” bumper and highs and fogs while driving it’s like day. Plus I keep auto highs on all the time so I don’t need to switch to low, they automatically do I just hit my other light switch to turn ditch and bumpers off. Auto highs work excellent on our trucks.
