Default Which color of light to buy?

So I'm about to order some Rigid Duallys in the spot light version. I'm not sure what color I should get them in....I've read some scattered posts about the amber color being the best...and others say the white is the best..any opinions?

I have d2 in the stock location in white and they are far too bright to run as fog lights.

I'm not sure about amber or not because I've never seen that color in person.

I do know that I wasted my money when I bought my long range windshield lights because the beam is too narrow for these southeast trails.
they dont help me at all..... I should have got driving lights instead or even fogs.

Is not widely advertised or anything but Rigid will take your lights and put different lenses on

I had a pair of d1's in flood and for $25 each they converted them to spot
