I thought about getting them but don't want to take them on/off.

I ended up just putting yellow LED fog lights on my truck for bad weather... just kept them on for all seasons though.

BTW check this out, this might work for you. It has removable filters you can put on as well as a DRL mode and spot/flood buttons you can turn on/off so you can go between modes. They are not on my site yet but I can add them if interested.

I bought a 22 inch v series light bar from auxbeam I was hoping the multiple colors would project farther out than they do . Still trying to get used to the 5d light bar .

I though about amber covers but figured it would reduce the amount of light output. I ended up ordering a pair of rigid dually amber led spots. Still waiting for them to come it. I did just install a 54 inch LED bar though...

I prefer the Amber for driving in foggy/wet weather. Although I don't have them on my truck I do have Rigid LED lights on my '12 Polaris Ranger HD. When I first bought it, I started with a set of the Rigid Dually spot lights mounted on top of the cab, and a set of D2 driving lights in Amber put on the front brushguard. I can tell you, that the Amber do cut thru the Muck very well, but lack distance, at least with the D2's. The following season, I removed the D2 Amber's in favor of a set of 6" E-series combo driving lights. They do a great job around my mountain roads in West Virginia. But I was missing the Amber during Fog and snow. So I decided to get a set of the Amber lenses. Although the Hue is a bit different than a dedicated Amber beam, they work very well on the 6" combo driving lights. But they do drop the beam distance quiet a bit, maybe to about half the distance? But for me putting around my property it's fine. The first two pics. are of the Buggy with the Dually Spot lights and the D2 Amber on the brushguard. Then of how she is now with the current lighting set up.

I went back and forth before buying, but ended up going with the amber led rigid duallys. No covers.
