So as the title stated, am I missing the benefit of a roof mounted amber light? I was recently gifted a combo (amber/white) light bar by my wife. (Extreme Led X6) It's not necessarily what I would have chosen, however, her intent was good and it's really kind of my fault since I may have downplayed how much the other lighting I have cost. So I mounted it up and have had a handful of opportunities to test it out. Unfortunately none of which were dusty conditions. I tried it in a couple of heavy fog situations and quite a few snow/blizzard situations. Frankly, IMHO the roof mounted amber lights are worthless in limited vision situations. In all adverse vision situations it did nothing but light up the snow/fog and make vision worse. My bumper mounted fogs serve the purpose much better and I would probably consider converting or replacing my bumper light bar to an amber.
I see quite a few rigs with amber lights on the roof. They do make general night viewing a bit easier if it's not snowing foggy etc. Am I missing the purpose here? Is it cool factor? Or more of a marker light kind of thing?
