    A little something every chance we get.
    Amber works best low for fog. Now having decade of experience in snow without yellow, I have NO IDEA. I do know that on a rock and roll tour through a Wyoming blizzard, my partner roadie gave me his yellow glasses to wear OVER my glasses, and MAN, that worked.

    Fog light holes are filled with Baja Designs amber floods.

    So amber doesn't work well at the base of the windshield?

    Ah, gotcha. Well there is a solution to that problem: make new holes for your flashlights.

    Totally NOT sure on that - never had that experience in the snow. To me, snow fall in abundance is much like fog, and you want to keep you light low. Amber cuts through fog and snow better, but the higher you mount, the more reflections....
    So, this is up to folks who have experienced.
    Ask @RobP62 , or a couple others whose handles refuse to come up....

    Typical small town stuff! Working in the yard, planning secret truck mods so no one thinks I am doing them, getting grass replanted by the gas company to fill the huge hole and stump grind, pissing off my financial advisor, and running out of money. Oh, and giving everyone I can positive vibes about what they are doing!
    Miss you being as regular as when I joined.
    But need to ask your about the wife's bidness - I followed, and haven't seen a lot. Hope it ( & YOU ) are doing well!

    Amber offers up a lot more depth perception in a Snow Storm. The more white the light is the more it bounces & reflects off of Snow. I turned on my white light bar just to see how bad it was & it was pretty amazing.

    Do it. I went with rigid midnight edition spots. Since you already have ambers in your fogs I wouldn’t worry about having ambers for ditch lights too.

    My interview would be pretty short.

    Joined for the college cash.
    Was in basic when the Russkies shot down the South Korean airliner.
    Was in AIT when the Marine Barracks in Beirut was bombed.
    Started to think I may have signed up for the wrong plan.
    Shipped out to my one and only duty station; Darmstadt, FRG.
    Drank great German beer, and spent most of 1984 building Range 79 in Grafenwohr.
    Came home, signed up for Reserves.
    Started college.
    Was promoted from Spec4 to Corporal. Both are E4, in terms of pay, except the Corporal has more responsibilities. I was not looking for more work, same pay. That night, my buddy and I "missed the bus" that was going to a weekend drill at Fort McCoy, and chose to drive instead. Made it as far as LaCrosse, WI, where much fun was had, and drill was missed. Well, not exactly "missed", let's call it "not attended".
    At the next monthly drill, was demoted from Corporal to Spec4, setting a record for least time in grade. Was very happy they saw the error of their ways.
    Bored out of my mind after 3.5 years in Reserves, signed my papers to get out, right after I was forced by my CO to sign a counseling statement, after a convoy to Granite City, IL and back to Eau Claire, WI. The complaint against me, (as well as my buddy from the LaCrosse trip above), was that I had broken a convoy on the way back, forcing us to be separated on the overnight. Funny, but I'm not sure how the lead truck can break a convoy, and I was the only truck to call back in the next morning, telling them we were getting back on the road. The CO told me not to be too hasty in signing my resignation papers; I told him I didn't need to associate with liars.
    Graduated college.

    And the rest is history.
