Cab Light Color Opinions?

Going to install cab lights on my SD soon. Truck is grey and I'm having trouble picking out which lights to get. Amber, clear, or smoked? Thought I would get some opinions.

Around here, the cab lights must be yellow. Either bulb or lens.

The Recon lights are pretty bright LEDS...amber colored. You can't tell they're smoked when lit up

Tak a look at these...

AtomicLED.com - Custom LED running lights for trucks

Personally I would stay away from recon stuff.

Be careful with the blues. Many PDs would be unkind to seeing them on the top of the truck and would more than likely pull you over. Hell, around here we can't even run a single blue flasher on our apparatus. Red, yellow, and white only.
