Hey guys, I have a 2021 F150 and am looking for some recommendations. I have noticed that when the snow/rain gets real bad, sometimes it can be hard(er) to see good, mostly at night. Looking for a couple options, maybe a bit overkill too for most situations but, anyhow. A light bar mounting above the cab (like where the cab/clearance lights would be on F250/350+). A light bar on the front between where the license plate goes and the Ford emblem. Then ditch lights, but I think those don’t have much variation. If there is the ability to switch between ambers and whites that would be a nice bonus (I think this is mostly achieved with amber covers?).
Please don’t be the person driving down the road with a light on blinding everyone else…

I was hoping more for recommendations on the equipment itself, not so much how to use it tbh.

If you’re using them properly off-road, then my comment doesn’t apply. But if you’re planning on blinding others, I hope your lights burn your truck down.

I don’t think anything in my post actually indicated any of that. You just made an assumption, hence why I was a smart ass.
A light bar will make visibility even worse, especially with the light reflecting off the precipitation. Less is more for this type of thing. If you do add lights, try putting them lower so you don’t end up blinding yourself or others.

That was my plan—low and amber.
Just upgrade the fog lamps. You want the light low to the ground to illuminate the road, not just reflect off the snow, fog, and rain.
