Hey guys, like the post says. Amber or White lights for offroad lighting. I mainly do rock crawling, back country expidition type stuff. Not so much high speed stuff but sometimes. Also location varies from Arizona desert to the NW forests and rain.

Pro's & Cons & opinions.

Personal preference, but I like the amber lights. To me, it seems like it makes it easier to make out contours ahead and also seem to 'cut' foul weather a bit better than white light. If you get the proper beam pattern, I don't think it really matters but I've found that I prefer amber over white.
