I think Greg is right about amber vs. clear.  A "driving light" will be 
more of a spot, like an extra set of high beams (not to be used with 
oncoming traffic).  The fog lens has  a lot of vertical ribs to disperse 
the light directly in front of you.  The GE fog lens pattern has a 
distinct line  that focuses the light below about 3/4.  The way I set 
these up was so that the bright portion below the line is stays 
horizontal and with the road (and out of traffic's eyes).  I use these 
for night driving in the rainy winter season here, not just fog.
