    I have Baja ditch lights and they're a little too yellow. Was wondering if anyone had experience with Rigid or Heretic amber lights to see if they are more orange than yellow. I'll eventually be getting 6 inch light bars for my bumper extensions and want it to be orange instead of the yellow baja temperature. Pictures would be great!

    Why do you want amber lights? Selective yellow is higher performing in nearly every metric. Note that Baja (unless Baja SAE fogs) is actually a higher color temp than selective yellow used by other brands like Diode Dynamics.

    Well for one I just think they look a little better, but I also do a lot of off road night driving and the orange is a little easier on the eyes compared to the Baja yellow. Also Baja doesn't make a 6 inch amber light bar just a 10 inch so I just wanted to try a different brand. I'm running a 22 inch Lasfit bar on my bumper and that color is great.

    I’ve got a 40” heretic on my tundra and had a 30” rigid on my Tacoma. They are both more orange than yellow. I think you’d be fine with either.
