Best driving lights for snow?

Looking for some suggestions or advice on what are the best type of driving/fog lights for snow?

I have been looking at PIAA lights. But not sure if I should get a driving light or fog light for snowy conditions....

an amber/yellow colored light is best in snow.

if it is actively snowing - fog is your best bet.

if it is NOT snowing - driving would suit you fine.

amber/yellow light shows up REALLY well in snowy conditions and snow-covered roads. you can get amber colored bulbs to put in your headlights for the winter - some guys do this, some just leave it.

wanna go crazy, try lightforce driving lights, with the blue filters, combo spot/flood.

In snow conditions, thus far, these are the best I have used. They really cut the glare.

Yellow is good in foggy conditions, although the blue works well there too.

Lightforce with the snow blue filters.
Absolutely amazing, takes all those little white dots out.

http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/1400.html I got some of these and mounted them on my bd steering brace that ties the steering box to both sied of the frame. That way there nice and low so the can light up the road in the snow not just snow up higher.

Well thats was high beams and fog lights and the camera was on night mode so it keeps the shutter open abit longer. But they seem to make great light. The piaa fogs seem to make as much light as headlights on low.
