No forward facing blue lights are legal on cars.

generally sold for show use only.

I have white led sidelights, but only to nearer match the HID colour, would prefer xenon filled sidelight bulbs, but they aint cheap.

Not legal for cars other than emergency services to show blue light full stop.

.. cue TheBoy with another reason why you shouldn't do it. :-X

try living in Torbay !!  Lucky if you get to the end of your drive without being stopped for things like this.

LED lighting and tinted side windows are an absolute target around here.

Same in most seaside towns that I know in the South East. :D

Sadly Lizzie, its all the year round, but then thats probably something to do with the huge Metropolitan Police training Centre in Exeter / Middlemoor being only a few miles up the road.

But your roads during the summer are bumper to bumper with stationary 'Grockles' and nobody moves anywhere! :y :y

something like
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Upgrade-Sidelight-Extreme-White-Xenon-501-Car-Bulbs_W0QQitemZ230317689217QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item230317689217&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1299%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

may be worth a try, not used em myself though

Fitted similar to these in my Primera, which had HID. The original bulbs (sidelight) looked yellow compared to the main headlights.
Didn't make them look much brighter that you could tell really.

LOL !

But thats good for the Police, they can sit on a deck chair by the side of the road and slowly write a ticket for everybody that trundles past !

That way they can ticket everybody without any effort whatsoever.
