    Anyone know if these pods are actually Amber or just say Amber and are yellowish? Would also like for the cover to be Amber so that you can tell when they’re not on. Should I just get their brackets and go with different pods? Opinions please! Thanks!

    I had them before I got my Pelfreybilt Aluminum bumper with Bajas. They are amber but when they're off you can't tell.....the cover is clear.

    I’d order a 30$ set on Amazon, from what I hear Cali raised lights are just rebranded amazon/eBay/China lights

    Edit. Cali raised mounts amazon lights.

    Light bar is eBay mounts and eBay bar haha

    Gotcha. So you did go with their mounts, just not pods. Did that come with the wiring harness or have to get that separate as well?

    Yeah, I’d say they’re amber. Looks good!

    Yeah I used there mounts and any set of 3x3 pods off Amazon or eBay should work. My truck wasn’t wired for fogs so I wired them to a switch on the dash.

    Save your money and buy something SAE rated. Dont be the asshole that blinds oncoming traffic with your "fog" lights. Rigid and Diode Dinamics are the best in market right now. Check out @crashnburn80 posts about it

    They don't seem to have much beam saturation and very little throw. Of course the splotchy pattern from the drop in LED headlights bulbs doesn't help much either. Nice looking truck though!

    I used to have them, but switched to KC G4's in amber. Also, the brackets that came with the pods started rusting after about a year.

    I had them.. but went back to stock with yellow bulbs.. after having them warranty out multiple for moisture problems and the mounts for rust.. can actually see far better with stock fogs.

    Eventually I’ll get kc g4s

    It seems the better choice is to stay stock.. Has anyone has success just using an orange film with stock fogs? Pictures would be nice. I think I want my fogs to look amber when off rather than only when on.
