In the front, I experimented with amber and white with both amber and clear lenses. I decided that I liked the amber lenses better cosmetically and both white and amber bulbs looked basically the same behind them.
The white bulbs behind the colored lenses are brighter than the colored bulbs behind them because the LEDs are single wavelength and the color does not quite match the lens color. That results in more of the light being absorbed by the lens.
The white does wash out the lens color a hair, but I couldn't tell the difference unless I was looking for it.
If you get good quality bulbs, either the colored or white ones will be plenty bright behind your colored lenses.
Does that answer your question? | | |
