    Sorry it does not. But we do ship to Canada for an extra $30 to cover the difference in the shipping cost. Sold out for the 2015 mounts but trying my best to get some to powder this week.

    Can anyone comment on the benefit of ambers over yellow fogs? Yellow always seems to be the choice for "functional" fogs, although I am intrigued with these amber led.

    So the amber coloring vs. the true yellow comes from the offroad industry if I am correct. Originally amber lights were used by offroaders as dust lights because they do a great job of cutting through the dust without blinding other vehicles. In offroad racing way back we used the trailer flush mounts in tail light boxes and stuff like that to get the desired effect. When LED bars and pods became popular, the amber color seemed to follow as they were designed for offroad use at first (at least these pods). As we get more creative we have started finding other great uses for them, hence the amber pods in the fog location.

    From my experience, I can say I have not used the yellow color fogs. But I have been using my amber pods and they seem to work in a very similar manor, and are probably a little easier on the eyes of traffic as the amber is a bit darker (in color, not light output). I have used them in a lot of high reflection areas and they do a great job of lighting up stuff without the blinding return light, which is the goal of this color choice.

    If you want to go real crazy and have all the options there is one more way... Buy the 18W white 6K pods. Then Cali Raised makes these cool magnetic amber covers for the pods that you can put on and try the amber color. If you don't like the amber, there are many people that use the film on pods and make them into the yellow color you described. Me, I love my amber pods and will not go back!!!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Ill have to mull this over, I just started looking in to new fog housings and I stumbled across this option. I use the fogs mainly in shit weather and on dark back roads for extra visibility.
    I like the way my yellow lights perform but I'm all for improvement.

    Got the v2 mounted today. I really like these better than the first version. For fogs, I much prefer how these point forward and they have a good amount of alignment adjustments. Thanks Chris.

    Did mine a couple of weeks ago, and I'm very happy with both the product and service. I particularly like the fact that the aim point of the pods can be adjusted without removing the whole mount. I'm still fussing with the aim on mine, but the range of adjustment is perfect for my needs. Very nice product!
