[QUOTE="Hunt2871, post: 490654, member: 31882"] Fog is an entirely different monster....I NEVER use my light bars in fog. I tried it once on the Columbia River and became as disoriented as I have ever been in a boat....very scary. Impossible to see anything and zero sense of motion even though the boat was booming along with the current. I ran that same stretch of river with a lowrance graph chart combo at a sufficient speed to maintain steerage in heavy fog with nothing but required navigation lights and had zero problem. I can't imagine amber lights being any better because there is nothing for them to illuminate at the peripherary and fog is as reflective as water surface.....take a hand held spot light with an amber filter and shine it into a fog on the water....I will bet you can see better without it than with it....
