Amber passing lamps...
I have been giving tis some thought, with all of the blue hairs driving down here anything to be seen during the day will be great. SO here is my question. Does it matter if you have an amber lens and white bulb, or a clear lens and an amber bulb? Which would be they better set up? I think I saw some PIAA amber lights that would work.
I was also thinking of doing the mod where the passing lamps will stay on even if the brights are on.
Thanks,

I run the Harley fog lights on the crash bars. This is a bright set up. A buddy of mine saw me coming from a distance and all 5 lights kind of blend in together in brightness. His quote was that I looked like a frikken locomotive coming at him. I also use the soft lowers with them. I just cut out a couple of holes in the fabric.

I run a pair of Wagner 4415A sealed beams on my 09 and like them very much.
These are screw terminal bulbs , fluted lense , amber.
They have a much wider beam spread at 40 degrees a opposed to the stock 8 degrees.
They're also 35 watt , and no problem for the stock wiring.
It "seems" as though "less" people try to turn in front of me at the last minute than when I ran with the stock setup.
Our local HOG road captain says they are noticeable enough , that he likes me at the rear of a group ride , so he knows where the last bike is.
Aim is critical (and aiming them is a pain) but I feel that it was a worthwhile mod to do.
I can buy these local for about $8.50 per and their lifespan is fairly short compared to stock.
