I believe the answer is:

fog lamp

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beauty suffused dandy' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'amber light' is the wordplay.
'amber' becomes 'fog' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'light' becomes 'lamp' (lamp is a kind of light).
'fog'+'lamp'='FOG-LAMP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fog lamp that I've seen before include "shines amid the gloom" , "Driver's visibility aid in mist" , "Bright light used in poor driving conditions" , "Something that's light" , "Strong car headlight" .)
