    It's not a pod, but KC HILITES G4's come in Amber.

    All are covered in this thread:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-led-sae-j583-fog-pod-fog-light-review.554813/

    KC G4 ambers are great, otherwise you have the Morimoto ambers or in pod form Rigid and Baja both are releasing supposedly in Q1. For non-amber pods covered in the thread you can add the amber covers to the standard fog for amber/yellow output.

    If you're worried about blinding people, DON'T get the Baja Squadron Sport with wide cornering lenses in amber. They are stupid bright.

    They are bright, but the real issue is it is a wide cornering pattern, which has no cut offs and effectively is a high beam with a wide angle. Fogs lights have cut offs. Baja is supposed to be releasing an SAE fog version near end of Q1.

    I have the same setup. They are indeed illegal to use on the street and yes, they blind people. I have gotten a few flashes from people and I don't run them on the street anymore, only on the trails. I might end up switching to a set of DOT approved Rigid or Baja Design soon.

    Agreed, although I wouldn’t want to see my combos from the business side either.

    Wait for the BD SAE- they will be awesome.

    All these are good options as they are an actual SAE fog pattern with real cut offs.

    About
    About 1/2 the price from the KC, but on some of the reviews I read comparing the various lights the morimotos were far lower down in quality. No first person knowledge just what I was reading. Plus 8 didnt see any amber morimetos when searching.

    Not saying they were bad as I had no first hand knowledge, just what I had read. Plus as I posted I only saw them in white not amber.
    Glad you are happy.

    I haven't seen the KCs in person so I have no real comparison, but the morimotos throw out plenty of light for my needs on the streets. Regardless of which fogs you choose, it'll be a world of difference over stock
