Default Amber LED Fogs - Found Them / Initial Thoughts

This is my first new thread on this forum, although Ive been an observer for a little while.

I have been on the hunt for amber fog light bulbs to plug into the stock housings. I really wanted something that would match the LED headlights' amber switchbacks.

Not seeing any real options out there, I decided to give these a try:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here they are installed:





My initial thoughts are that aesthetically they look sweet - they match the switchbacks really well. Unfortunately they do not appear to be really bright, so the function may not be what I was initially looking for. But I will likely be keeping them in, since I never felt the stock fogs did much anyway.

I did not want just a white LED bulb in the stock housings (I have seen the scatter and questionable safety for oncoming drivers mentioned in other posts), nor did I want a yellow bulb (did not want to add another color temperature to the clean LED Headlights' stock look with the amber switchbacks).

I was interested in the Morimottos, but have seen conflicting reviews as to power output, and I will not spend that kind of money unless it is a real worthwhile upgrade. I am waiting to see someone with the new Super Duty's LED fogs (If you have seen them installed post pics!). Then again, what I really want is a really bright amber light, as I find the stock LED headlights' light color basically disappears when it is raining out at night, and I want something that accomplishes the aesthetics pictured above, with power. I may just be dreaming for something that does not exist.

Thoughts?

I'm still in the experimental stage. I've liked the look of Amber fogs on a few of my previous vehicles. Prefer amber lenses for daytime (Eye-Candy-Look) as well as Amber bulbs for night.

Not sure how it'll look on this truck, if I don't like it, the film pulls right off.

I was literally thinking of doing this myself, just didn't know how it would look. I'm definitely doing it now.
